    Abstract: A method for reducing the level of an undesired signal, generated through a frequency converter device, is implemented by a local oscillator (hereinafter "LO") leak cancellation circuit. A feedback correction loop, for a radio frequency (RF) transmitter or receiver, reduces an undesired local oscillator leak generated through a single input frequency converter device (20), such as a mixer, by a unique detection circuit (30). A unique nulling circuit (40) is also implemented for a multiple input frequency converter device, such as a quadrature modulator.

    Abstract: The present invention provides an improved pilot detection technique for a control system (200) comprising an electrical circuit (108) that produces distortion and which applies the pilot signal to the electrical circuit and uses information obtained from the pilot signal to cancel the distortion from the electrical circuit.

    Abstract: The present invention is a feed forward circuit (100) and method for reducing distortion added to an output signal by its amplifier (110) without increasing the time delay in the main circuit path of the feed forward circuit. This is accomplished using a pre-distortion circuit (123) to introduce a pre-distortion signal to the input signal of a correction amplifier (124). The pre-distortion signal is used to cancel a distortion signal that will be introduced by the correction amplifier. The pre-distortion signal has approximately the same frequency and amplitude as the distortion signal. The pre-distortion signal, however, has a phase difference of approximately 180 DEG with respect to the distortion signal such that the pre-distortion signal and the distortion signal cancel each other when combined.

    Abstract: A modularly-partitioned feedforward multicarrier linear RF power amplifier is de scribed. The circuitry and components of the power amplifier are segregated into physical ly-separate modules in accordance with several criteria. In one embodiment, the power amplif ier is segregated into a RF power module, a linearizer module and a DC power supply mod ule. The RF power module includes power- and frequency- dependent components and generally v aries with the carrier frequency and output power requirements for a specific application. The linearizer module includes circuitry and components that are substantially power- and frequ ency-independent. As such, the linearizer module is substantially invariant and a single design ma y be used for virtually any application. The DC power supply module includes circuit and components that are substantially frequency independent but somewhat power power dependent. The DC power supply module may vary from amplifier to amplifier where there is a significant change in output power requirements.

    Abstract: A gain and phase control system performs a gain (or phase) adjustment based on the results of a previous gain (or phase) adjustment after an intervening phase (or gain) adjustment. A gain adjustment is based on the results of a previous gain adjustment rather than on the results of an intervening phase adjustment. A phase adjustment is based on the results of a previous phase adjustment rather than the results of an intervening gain adjustment. As such, the above-mentioned increase in error signal does not occur because a gain adjustment is based on the results of the previous gain adjustment, and a phase adjustment is based on the results of the previous phase adjustments. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the gain and phase control system makes a gain (or phase) adjustment in parallel with detecting the results from a previous phase (or gain) adjustment, thereby taking advantage of the delay between adjustment and detection of the resulting error signal to improve the convergence rate. For example, the gain and phase control system can perform single alternating gain and phase adjustments and make a gain (or phase) adjustment while detecting the error signal resulting from a preceding phase (or gain) adjustment. When the error signal resulting from the gain (or phase) adjustment is being detected, the gain and phase control system makes a phase (or gain) adjustment using the results detected from the preceding phase (or gain) adjustment.

    Abstract: A gain and phase control system performs a gain (or phase) adjustment bas ed on the results of a previous gain (or phase) adjustment after an intervening phase (or gain) adjustment. A gain adjustment is based on the results of a previous ga in adjustment rather than on the results of an intervening phase adjustment. A phase adjustment is based on the results of a previous phase adjustment rather tha n the results of an intervening gain adjustment. As such, the above-mentioned increase in error signal does not occur because a gain adjustment is based on the result s of the previous gain adjustment, and a phase adjustment is based on the results of the previous phase adjustments. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the gain and phase control system makes a gain (or phase) adjustment in parallel with detecting the results from a previous phase (or gain) adjustment, thereby taking advantage of the delay between adjustment and detection of the resulting error signal to improve the convergence rate. For example, the gain and phase control system can perform single alternating gain and phase adjustments and make a gain (or phase) adjustment while detecting the error signal resulting from a precedin g phase (or gain) adjustment. When the error signal resulting from the gain (or phas e) adjustment is being detected, the gain and phase control system makes a phas e (or gain) adjustment using the results detected from the preceding phase (or gai n) adjustment.
