Dynamically linearizing multi-carrier power amplifiers

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for dynamically linearizing multi-carrier power amplifiers. In one example, the method includes storing a correction set including a plurality of correction solutions and loading the correction set into an RF power amplifier linearizer. The method includes determining a first carrier configuration of an RF transmitter during a first timeslot of operation of the RF transmitter and sending a first correction solution index to the RF power amplifier linearizer. The first correction solution index corresponds to a first correction solution of the plurality of correction solutions. The method also includes determining that a carrier configuration change is initiated to operate the RF transmitter with a second carrier configuration during a second timeslot of operation of the RF transmitter and sending a second correction solution index to the RF power amplifier linearizer. The second correction solution index corresponds to a second correction solution of the plurality of correction solutions.
