DVANTAGE
In typical basestation transmitters digital pre-distortion is
employed to improve the Transmitter performance. The
signal coming out of the PA is sampled and the incoming
Tx chain I&Q data is pre-distorted to counteract the
distortion inherent in the PA. The PA signal is adjusted
via a digital step attenuator to a lower level and then
sub-sampled at an IF frequency of ~200 MHz which
necessitates the need for a highly linear demodulator to
downmix to quadrature IF from the Transmit frequency.
By sampling IF_I and IF_Q independently and then
digitally combining these signals, an effective doubling of
the sample rate can be achieved. Any distortion in this
path will degrade the performance of the DPD algorithm.
By utilizing an ultra-linear demodulator w/integrated DSA
such as the IDTF1370, the ACLR and/or power
consumption of the full Tx system can be improved
significantly.
