U.S. Patents Awarded to Inventors in New Jersey (Sept. 21)(Targeted News Service Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Targeted News Service Targeted News Service ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 21 -- The following federal patents were awarded to inventors in New Jersey. *** Andrew Assigned Patent ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 21 -- Andrew, Hickory, N.C., has been assigned a patent (8,537,041) developed by Rajiv Chandrasekaran, Bridgewater, N.J., and George P. Vella-Coleiro, Summit, N.J., for an "interpolation-based digital pre-distortion architecture." The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: "A non-linear amplifier is linearized using interpolation-based digital pre-distortion (DPD). In one embodiment, the digital input signal is interpolated to generate a higher-sample-rate signal that is then pre-distorted. The resulting higher-sample-rate pre-distorted signal is then decimated to generate a final pre-distorted digital signal that is converted into an analog pre-distorted signal by a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) before being applied to the amplifier. In a polyphase embodiment, different versions of the original input digital signal are generated, where each version is then pre-distorted using a different DPD module to generate a different intermediate pre-distorted digital signal. The intermediate pre-distorted signals are filtered and combined to generate the final pre-distorted digital signal. In both embodiments, better linearization (e.g., less aliasing) can be achieved without increasing the sample rate of the DAC and, in the polyphase embodiment, without increasing the processing speed of the DPD modules." The patent application was filed on Nov. 4, 2011 (13/289,010).
