+This folder contains work in progress for digital predistortion.

+Concept
+-------
+
+ODR-DabMod makes outgoing TX samples and feedback RX samples available for an external tool. This
+external tool can request a buffer of samples for analysis, can calculate coefficients for the
+polynomial predistorter in ODR-DabMod and load the new coefficients using the remote control.
+
+The *dpd/main.py* script is the entry point for the *DPD Calculation Engine* into which these
+features will be implemented. The tool uses modules from the *dpd/src/* folder:
+
+- Sample transfer and time alignment with subsample accuracy is done by *Measure.py*
+- Estimating the effects of the PA using some model and calculation of the updated
+  polynomial coefficients is done in *Model.py*
+- Finally, *Adapt.py* loads them into ODR-DabMod.
+
+These modules themselves use additional helper scripts in the *dpd/src/* folder.
+
+Requirements
+------------
 
 - USRP B200.
 - Power amplifier.
 - A feedback connection from the power amplifier output, at an appropriate power level for the B200.
-  Usually this is done with a directional coupler.
-- ODR-DabMod with enabled dpd_port, and with a samplerate of 8192000 samples per second.
+  Usually this is done with a directional coupler and additional attenuators.
+- ODR-DabMod with enabled *dpd_port*, and with a samplerate of 8192000 samples per second.
 - Synchronous=1 so that the USRP has the timestamping set properly, internal refclk and pps
   are sufficient for this example.
 - A live mux source with TIST enabled.
 
 See dpd/dpd.ini for an example.
 
+The DPD server port can be tested with the *dpd/show_spectrum.py* helper tool, which can also display
+a constellation diagram.

 TODO
 ----
 
-Implement a PA model that updates the predistorter.
-Implement cases for different oversampling for FFT bin choice
+Implement a PA model.
+Implement cases for different oversampling for FFT bin choice.
+Fix loads of missing and buggy aspects of the implementation.
