[hpsdr] Pre-Distortion

[Helmut, DC6NY]

Hi Pete,

1)The pre-distortion method needs also a modified FPGA code which is at this
time only available for the Hermes board. I'm rather sure that the other
OpenHPSDR exciter boards will follow.
2)I don't know whether any of the testers has used a tube amplifier in the
chain. Basically it should work. You are right, the sampler has to be
inserted at the end of the amplifier chain directly into the feeder.

***** High Performance Software Defined Radio Discussion List *****

Just a general question or two on the pre-distortion feature:

1) Will this be applicable to Atlas/Mercury/Penny based systems too or is it
just for Hermes based systems?

2) Does the number of amplifiers in the chain matter - for instance my
Penelope drives Munin which in turn drives my AL-811H (via Alex) - so I'm
assuming the TX signal going to the antenna is where the sampling and
feedback would take place.

Thanks,

Pete, N3EVL
