Multiple stage and/or nested predistortion system and method
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of predistorting an input signal, said method comprising the steps of:
- using at least one outer predistortion function to adjust said input signal to produce an outer predistorted signal to be applied to an inner predistortion function;
using said inner predistortion function to adjust said outer predistorted signal to produce an inner predistorted signal to be applied to a distortion generating circuit;
producing said outer predistortion function using said outer predistorted signal and an output of said distortion generating circuit; and
producing said inner predistortion function using said inner predistorted signal and said output of said distortion generating circuit.

Abstract
A predistortion system and method uses an inner predistortion function to adjust a signal being input into a distortion generating circuit and at least one outer predistortion function to adjust the signal being input into the inner predistortion function. Thus, the inner predistortion function can reduce the distortion from the distortion generating circuitry, and any remaining distortion can be reduced by the outer predistortion function.

3. A predistortion system comprising:
-
a distortion generating circuit; and
predistortion circuitry adapted to use at least one outer predistortion function to adjust an input signal to produce an outer predistorted signal to be applied to an inner predistortion function, and to adjust said outer predistorted signal using said inner predistortion function to produce an inner predistorted signal to be applied to said distortion generating circuit, wherein said predistortion circuitry is configured to produce said outer predistortion function using said outer predistorted signal and an output of said distortion generating circuit, and said predistortion circuitry is configured to produce said inner predistortion function using said inner predistorted signal and said output of said distortion generating circuit. - View Dependent Claims (4)
