System and method for corrected modulation with nonlinear power amplification

摘要

A system and method for modulating and amplifying an input signal are provided in a communication transmitter. The transmitter includes a pre-distortion lookup table containing pre-distortion lookup data. An auto-calibration module is in communication with the pre-distortion lookup table. The auto-calibration module is configured to operate during a closed-loop auto-calibration interval and to calibrate the pre-distortion lookup data to compensate for a non-linearity in the transmitter. The pre-distortion is based on the pre-distortion lookup data and is used during an open-loop operational interval.
