Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02052718A2] An amplifier arrangement including a main amplifier to which feed-forward cancellation is applied, where the amplifier arrangement comprises an input for receiving signals to be amplified, an output for providing an amplified input signal, a pilot signal modulation circuit to generate a CW frequency shifted pilot signal, a mixer down for converting the pilot signal to an IF signal, and a sampling circuit for digitally sampling the IF signal. The amplifier arrangement includes a signal cancellation loop and a distortion cancellation loop each acting as an independent control function for minimizing pilot signal. The signal cancellation loop utilizes a Cartesian loop method for controlling the signal cancellation loop for sensing both phase and amplitude information simultaneously. The Cartesian loop uses a high frequency active mixer, which is a dual cross coupled differential pairs of devices capable of operating with input signals from near DC to 2.4 GHz, for control of the signal cancellation loop.
