Abstract
A method may include determining a power level of a signal and a temperature level of a transmitter originating the signal. At least one of the power and temperature levels may be compared to a lookup table containing predistortion coefficients. The method is capable of predistorting a signal based on the comparison. An apparatus is disclosed in relation to the method.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- predistorting an input signal of a transmitter to generate a predistortion signal for amplification by an amplifier, the predistorting being based on a power level of a generated predistortion signal, a temperature level of the amplifier and an output signal from the amplifier.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a predistorter configured to predistort an input signal of a transmitter to generate a predistortion signal for amplification by an amplifier, the predistoring being based on a power level of a generated predistortion signal, a temperature level of an amplifier and an output signal output from the amplifier.
A method, comprising:
- determining a power level of a predistorted input signal;
- determining a temperature level of an amplifier used in a transmitter to amplify the predistorted input signal;
- comparing the determined power and temperature levels to at least one power level threshold and at least one temperature level threshold respectively;
- and
- predistorting an input signal based on the comparison to generate the predistorted input signal.

A method, comprising:
- accessing a memory to retrieve coefficients, from a coefficient lookup table, for predistorting a signal based on a current operating state of a transmitter;
- predistorting the signal of the transmitter according to the current operating state of the transmitter;
- wherein
- the coefficient lookup table is stored in a memory, that is indexed according to three power ranges, a first of the three power ranges including one defined temperature level, a second of the three power ranges including two defined temperature levels, and a third of the three power ranges including four defined temperature levels.
