Title: Innovations by Inventor Anthony Smith
Introduction
Anthony Smith is a notable inventor based in Salt Lake City, UT (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of communication systems, holding two patents that address critical challenges in signal transmission and distortion cancellation.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents focuses on reducing transmitter-to-receiver non-linear distortion at a transmitter prior to estimating and cancelling known non-linear distortion at a receiver. This communication system includes a transmitter device that transmits input data as a transmitted signal with a known non-linear distortion (NLD) characteristic. The receiver device receives a signal that represents a channel-affected version of the transmitted signal, which also has the known NLD characteristic. The system is designed to iteratively estimate and cancel power amplifier distortion (PAD) induced by the transmitter's power amplifier, thereby improving the quality of the received signal.
Another significant patent by Anthony Smith involves cancelling non-linear power amplifier induced distortion from a received signal by moving incorrectly estimated constellation points. This method provides a systematic approach to reducing power amplifier induced distortion through iterative estimation and cancellation. When the difference between current and previous estimates of power amplifier distortion is minimal, the system identifies M-QAM constellation points that are still in error. A correction routine is then employed to adjust these points towards their expected quadrants, enhancing the accuracy of the received signal.
