US patent US12750057

Apparatus and methods for nonlinearity cancellation in electronic systems

Abstract

Apparatus and methods for nonlinearity cancellation in electronic systems are disclosed. In certain embodiments, an electronic system includes two or more circuit channels that process a common input signal in parallel and that each include at least one instantiation of a circuit that behaves nonlinearly. Thus, the nonlinear circuit is replicated and included at least once in each circuit channel. Each of the circuit channels has an input scaling factor and an output scaling factor that can vary from one circuit channel to another. The output signals from the circuit channels after scaling are combined to generate a combined output signal. The input and output scaling factors are selected to cancel or reduce nonlinearities.
