Extending the dynamic range of RF receivers using nonlinear equalization

Systems currently being developed to operate across wide bandwidths with high sensitivity requirements are limited by the inherent dynamic range of a receiver's analog and mixed-signal components. To increase a receiver's overall linearity, we have developed a digital nonlinear equalizatio...

description Systems currently being developed to operate across wide bandwidths with high sensitivity requirements are limited by the inherent dynamic range of a receiver's analog and mixed-signal components. To increase a receiver's overall linearity, we have developed a digital nonlinear equalization (NLEQ) processor which is capable of extending a receiver's dynamic range from one to three orders of magnitude. In this paper we describe the NLEQ architecture and present measurements of its performance.
