Digital Predistortion of Power Amplifier Non-Linearities for Full-Duplex Transceivers

Andreas Peter Burg, Alexios Konstantinos Balatsoukas Stimming, Andrew Charles Mallory Austin

Non-linearities introduced by the power amplifier stage can significantly reduce the performance of self-interference cancellation in full-duplex transceivers. Accordingly, we propose a full-duplex system architecture that predistorts the digital baseband ...

Sparse image reconstruction on the sphere: implications of a new sampling theorem

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Pierre Vandergheynst, Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville, Yves Wiaux, Gilles Puy, Jason Douglas McEwen

A new sampling theorem on the sphere has been developed recently, reducing the number of samples required to represent a band-limited signal by a factor of two for equiangular sampling schemes. For signals sparse in a spatially localised measure, such as i ...
