ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 3 -- United States Patent no. 12,542,518, issued on Feb. 3, was assigned to Analog Devices International UnLtd. Co. (Limerick, Ireland).

"Multi-rate multistage digital compensator for nonlinear systems" was invented by Kevin Chuang (Belmont, Mass.), Ahmed M. R. A. Raslan (Ottawa) and Marwen Ben Rejeb (Nepean, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "An adaptable, multistage, multi-rate digital predistortion system that can increase the accuracy of the distortion applied to a power amplifier input signal is disclosed. Further, the digital predistortion system can be implemented using a reduced circuit area by reducing a number of coefficients used by the models applied to ge...
