Abstract
Future handsets will employ uplink carrier aggregation to increase transmit data rates. This can lead to significant receiver desensitization for a number of LTE band combinations, because of the cross-modulation products created by the nonlinearity of antenna switches and duplexers in the RF front end. To mitigate this effect, an all-digital cancellation algorithm is proposed that relies solely on the digital representation of the signals, a peak covariance search for time alignment, and an adaptive distortion canceller. The recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm is used to find the optimal coefficients for the adaptive filter. Employing the distortion canceller improved the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and error-vector-magnitude (EVM) of the desired received signal by up to 20 dB.
