Abstract
Systems and methods for analog predistortion (APD) in power amplifiers are disclosed. In one aspect, APD may be provided in a front-end module (FEM) of a transmitter. More specifically, the APD may include different predistortions based on where within a frequency band the signal to be distorted is operating (i.e., sub-band APD). The APD in the FEM may further be based on operating conditions such as temperature within the FEM. Still further, the FEM may be configured to apply different APD based on whether or not a baseband processor (BBP) applies digital predistortion (DPD). At a minimum, the provision of the APD may make the operation of a power amplifier in FEM more linear. Further, where DPD is present, the use of the APD may simplify the requirements for the DPD provided in the BBP.
