Abstract
A multiple antenna wireless communication system using a DPD power amplifier and a method for controlling an amplitude of an input signal for a plurality of transmission paths of the DPD power amplifier are provided. The system includes a plurality of amplifiers, a plurality of couplers, a switch, a shared feedback path and a plurality of processors. The plurality of amplifiers amplifies an input signal directed to each of the transmission paths. The plurality of couplers couple amplified signals on respective transmission paths. The switch outputs at least one of the amplified signals coupled on the respective transmission paths. The shared feedback path provides the amplified signal output from the switch to a plurality of processors. The plurality of processors compare a feedback signal provided through the shared feedback path with the input signal and pre-distort the input signal such that the input signal and the amplified signal have a linear relation with each other.
