Abstract: Methods and systems for crest factor reduction may comprise generating an original waveform, generating a distortion signal by reducing a crest factor of the original waveform, generating an error signal by subtracting out the original waveform from the distortion signal, and generating a conditioned waveform by adding the error signal to the original waveform. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced based on spectral mask requirements. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced using a limiter. The power amplifier may comprise a programmable gain amplifier (PGA). The distortion signal may be generated based on a PGA model and/or a predistortion model. A signal from an output of the PA may be fed back to the PGA model. The PGA model may be dynamically configured. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced in an analog domain and/or a digital domain.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with digital offsets. A digital offset may be applied to an input of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), and digital-to-analog conversions are then applied via the DAC to the input with the digital offset. The digital offset is set to account for one or more conditions relating to inputs to the DAC, with the one or more conditions affect switching characteristics of one or more of a plurality of conversion elements in the DAC, and where each conversion element handles a particular bit in inputs to the DAC. The digital offset may be determined dynamically and adaptively, such as based on the input and/or conditions relating to the input. Alternatively, the digital offset may be pre-determined and fixed. One or more adjustments may be selectively applied to the digital offset for particular input conditions.

Abstract: Methods and systems for crest factor reduction may comprise generating an original waveform to be amplified by a programmable gain amplifier (PGA); generating a distortion signal utilizing a PGA model that predicts an output signal of the PGA based on the original waveform; generating an error signal by subtracting out the original waveform from the distortion signal; filtering the generated error signal; generating a conditioned waveform with crest factor reduced from that of the original waveform by adding the filtered error signal to the original waveform; and amplifying the conditioned waveform. The crest factor of the original waveform may be reduced based on spectral mask requirements. The generating of the conditioned waveform may be iterated. The distortion signal may be generated based on a predistortion model. A signal may be fed back from an output of the PGA to the predistortion model, which may be dynamically configured.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with partial constant switching. A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) comprising a plurality of conversion elements may be configured to apply constant switching in only some of the conversion elements. Only conversion elements applying constant switching may incorporate circuitry for providing such the constant switching. Alternatively, each conversion element may incorporate constant switching circuitry and functionality, and the constant switching may then be turned on or off for each conversion element adaptively, such as based on input conditions.
