520 |a We present a digitally assisted subsampler, designed to serve as the downconversion path in adaptive predistorters for 800MHz-5.8GHz RF power amplifiers. We use digital averaging to overcome the noise folding problems of subsampling, obtaining a final SNDR of 73.1dB for signals centered about a 2.4GHz carrier. Using quadrature subsampling, we obtain both the I and Q samples from the same physical path and thereby eliminate IQ gain mismatch. When used as part of an adaptive predistortion system, the subsampler enables an EVM improvement of 3.2% and distortion products suppression of up to 7.6dB for 802.11g signals. The subsampler IC, designed in a 90nm CMOS process, consumes 6.0mW from a 1.2V supply.
