    Abstract: A processor is provided having an instruction set with a sliding window non-linear convolution function. A processor obtains a software instruction that performs a non-linear convolution function for a plurality of input delayed signal samples. In response to the software instruction for the non-linear convolution function, the processor generates a weighted sum of two or more of the input delayed signal samples, wherein the weighted sum comprises a plurality of variable coefficients defined as a sum of one or more non-linear functions of a magnitude of the input delayed signal samples; and repeats the generating step for at least one time-shifted version of the input delayed signal samples to compute a plurality of consecutive outputs. The software instruction for the non-linear convolution function is optionally part of an instruction set of the processor. The non-linear convolution function can model a non-linear system with memory, such as a power amplifier model and/or a digital pre-distortion function.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for non-linear modeling of a physical system using look-up tables with polynomial interpolation. A non-linear function is evaluated for a complex input value by obtaining at least one look-up table with polynomial interpolation that represents the non-linear function, wherein entries in the look-up table comprise polynomial coefficients of at least degree two for different segments of the non-linear function; obtaining a point from the look-up table that is near a magnitude of the complex input value; and generating a complex output value by evaluating the polynomial coefficients at the point to perform a Taylor Series expansion from said point. The non-linear function characterizes, for example, a power amplifier or an inverse of a power amplifier and the look-up tables can be used, for example, to implement digital pre-distortion.
