Abstract

Pre-distortion algorithms for the compensation of AM/AM and AM/PM non-linearities of high power amplifiers (HPA) require a previous estimation of the delay introduced by the analog chains at the input and output of the amplifier. This paper presents a coarse time delay estimation (TDE) algorithm to within one-sample resolution based on a conditional entropy principle. The delay estimate is computed via one dimensional search on the proposed TDE spectrum.
