Zusammenfassung:Various embodiments disclosed herein provide for a low complexity transmitter structure for active antenna arrays by reducing the number of digital predistortion extraction loops that need to be performed. Digital predistortion (DPD) corrects any non-linearities in a power amplifier. By determining which power amplifiers have similar characteristics in an array, and thus may use similar predistortion coefficients, once the DPD coefficients are determine for one of the grouped power amplifiers, DPD can be performed on each of the grouped power amplifiers based on the DPD coefficients.
