Abstract:
A MIMO transceiver may include a communication chain configured to generate a signal at a first frequency. The communication chain may include a pre-distorter configured to accept pre-distortion parameters to pre-distort signals. The communication chain may include a PA to amplify the signals. The MIMO transceiver may include a DPD chain configured to receive the signal at the first frequency. The DPD chain may include a data converter to sample the signal using a sampling rate based on a baseband frequency. The data converter may be configured to generate a sample signal based on the sampling of the signal. The DPD chain may include a buffer configured to buffer the sample signal. The MIMO transceiver may include a DPD circuit configured to calibrate the pre-distortion parameters calibrated based on the buffered sample signal to compensate for non-linearity in amplification provided by the PA of the communication chain.
