Abstract

Facilitating the reduction and/or mitigation of spatial emissions in a multi antenna wireless communications system is provided herein. A system can comprise a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations that can comprise applying a first signal linearization to a first output signal of a first power amplifier based on a determination that an adjacent channel leakage ratio of the first output signal of the first power amplifier fails to satisfy a defined output value. The operations can also comprise applying a second signal linearization to a group of output signals of a group of power amplifiers for a defined azimuth direction associated with channel frequencies of the group of output signals and applying a third signal linearization to the group of output signals for a defined elevation direction associated with the channel frequencies of the group of output signals.
