263 | Technique for generating a radio frequency signal based on an offset compensation signal | EP12005118.0 | 2012-07-11 | EP2685690B1 | 2017-09-13 | Mu, Fenghao; Sundström, Lars |
A technique for generating a radio frequency signal (302) based on a baseband signal (304) is provided. As to a method aspect of the technique, a baseband signal (304) is modified by adding an offset signal to the baseband signal (304). The offset signal prevents the modified baseband signal (316) from entering a first signal region. An amplitude signal (r) and a phase signal (Õ) is provided based on the modified baseband signal (316). The phase signal (Õ) is modulated to a carrier frequency (É c ). The modulated phase signal (Õ) is amplified according to the amplitude signal (r) to generate a preliminary radio frequency signal (318). An offset compensation signal (320) is derived from the offset signal (314) and fed into the preliminary radio frequency signal (318). The offset compensation signal (320) essential cancels a frequency component, which corresponds to the offset signal (314), in the radio frequency signal (302). | ||||||

Transmitters supporting multiple modulation modes and/or multiple frequency bands are described. A transmitter may perform large signal polar modulation, small signal polar modulation, and/or quadrature modulation, which may support different modulation schemes and systems. Circuit blocks may be shared by the different modulation modes to reduce cost and power. For example, a single modulator (160) and a single power amplifier (170) may be used for small signal polar modulation and quadrature modulation. The transmitter may apply pre-distortion (124,142) to improve performance, to allow a power amplifier to support multiple frequency bands, to allow the power amplifier to operate at higher output power levels, etc. Envelope and phase distortions due to non-linearity of the power amplifier may be characterized for different input levels and different bands and stored at the transmitter. Thereafter, envelope and phase signals may be pre-distorted based on the stored characterizations to compensate for non-linearity of the power amplifier. | ||||||
