Feedforward-vahvistinjärjestelmä

摘要

A method and apparatus for reducing out-of-band frequency components of an RF amplified input signal, the amplified signal having both in-band frequency components and out-of-band frequency components, employ a feedforward network in which a microprocessor can sweep a frequency generator output connected to a mixer, the other input of the mixer being the amplified output, to find the carrier frequency of the input signal, and thereafter modify or control the feedforward circuit to reduce out-of-band frequency component energies in a particular manner. For example, gain and phase of a variable gain-phase network in a feedforward circuit structure can be modified for reducing the out-of-band frequency component energy.
