Abstract

Duplex filters in modern base stations are designed as cavity filters, which are expensive and have big dimensions. Thanks to the emerging digital technology and fast digital converters, it is possible to transfer the efforts of designing analog duplex filters into digital numeric algorithms applied to feedback structures, operating on power amplifiers in transmitters. The design of a digital baseband feedback applied to the analog power amplifiers is described making use of a model here verified by measurements. The design of hybrid filters allows the closed loop system to reach up to 20 dB difference between maximum gain and attenuation. Particular attention is dedicated to preserve stability conditions. The proposed architecture has the potential to reduce the cost and size of the RF front-ends.
