Title: Yehuda Avniel: Innovator in Power Amplification Technologies
Introduction
Yehuda Avniel is a prominent inventor based in Cambridge, MA, known for his contributions to power amplification technologies. With a total of 2 patents, he has made significant advancements in hardware-efficient solutions for outphasing power amplifiers.
Latest Patents
Avniel's latest patents include a "Hardware-efficient compensator for outphasing power amplifiers" and a "Hardware-efficient signal-component separator for outphasing power amplifiers." The first patent focuses on digital compensators designed for outphasing-based power amplification systems, such as Linear Amplification using Nonlinear Components (LINC) amplifiers and Asymmetric Multilevel Outphasing (AMO) amplifiers. This invention features a short memory nonlinear portion and a long memory linear time invariant (LTI) portion, enabling operation at throughputs exceeding a Gigasample per second with relatively low complexity.
The second patent describes a fixed-point piece-wise linear (FP PWL) approximation technique for computations of nonlinear functions. This technique results in circuit designs that require fewer arithmetic operations, shorter arithmetic operands, and smaller look-up tables. The circuits developed from this technique can be efficiently pipelined to achieve multi-GSamples/s throughputs. An exemplary embodiment of this invention is an energy-efficient high-throughput and high-precision signal component separator (SCS) for use with an AMO power amplifier.
