Time delay estimation in digital pre-distortion
نویسندگان
چکیده
OFDM communications require extreme linearity of High Power Amplifiers (HPA) to avoid Inter-Carrier Interference (ICI) and subsequent degradation of the BER and Quality of Service (QoS). Amplitude (AM/AM) and Phase (AM/PM) amplifier non-linearities can be compensated in a number of ways. Nevertheless, digital adaptive schemes based on least squares optimization criteria need estimate the delay introduced by the analog chains in the generation of the error signal. A sufficiently precise HPA inputoutput time delay estimate (TDE) is necessary before attempting pre-distortion of the amplifier itself. This paper introduces statistical criteria for this initial acquisition stage.

Coarse Time Delay Estimation for Pre-Correction of High Power Amplifiers in OFDM Communications
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulations used in DAB, DVB-T and future 4G communications standards are highly sensitive to the presence of non-linear distortion and synchronization errors between the transmitted and received signals. Digital precorrection schemes can be applied for the compensation of the AM/AM and AM/PM distortion introduced by High Power Amplifiers (HPA)....

متن کاملΣ∆-Based Removal of Unwanted Spectral Components for Sinewave Synthesis
This paper addresses the generation of spectrally pure sinewaves by combining the feedback structure of a Σ∆ loop with digital cancellation of unwanted spectral components in the output signal. In particular, the non-linearities of the in-loop Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) are compensated by applying a digital pre-distortion to the DAC input, and the feedback architecture is used to enhance...
متن کاملLow Settling Time All Digital DLL For VHF Application
Settling time is one of the most important parameter in design of DLLs. In this paper we propose a new high speed with low settling time Delay Locked Loop (DLL) in which a digital signal processor (DSP) is used instead of using phase-frequency detector, charge pump and loop filter in conventional DLL. To have better settling time, PRP conjugate gradient algorithm is used to optimize delay of ea...
متن کاملApplication of Model-Based Estimation to Time-Delay Estimation of Ultrasonic Testing Signals
Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...
