Digital Predistortion for Hybrid MIMO Transmitters

Parallel Digital Predistortion Design on Mobile GPU and Embedded Multicore CPU for Mobile Transmitters

Digital predistortion (DPD) is a widely adopted baseband processing technique in current radio transmitters. While DPD can effectively suppress unwanted spurious spectrum emissions stemming from imperfections of analog RF and baseband electronics, it also introduces extra processing complexity and poses challenges on efficient and flexible implementations, especially for mobile cellular transmi...

Kalman Filter Algorithm for Adaptive Digital Predistortion

This paper introduces a recursive algorithm of Kalman filter for digital predistorter parameters extraction based on memory polynomials predistorter model. The predistorter model is firstly formulated as linear regression expression. Then we derive the state-space equation of the model and attain the steps of the algorithm. Finally, the accuracy and stability of the algorithm is proved by simul...

Digital Electronic Predistortion for Optical Communications

GCMAC-based predistortion for digital modulations

The subject of this paper is the compensation for nonlinearities in digital communication systems by means of predistortion. In this work, we apply the Generalized Cerebellar Model Articulation Controller (GCMAC) to simplify and accelerate the predistorter convergence. The range of analyzed predistorters includes: 1) a symbol-rate data predistorter that, for a given time span, achieves a simila...

Hybrid Analog-Digital Beamforming for Massive MIMO Systems

In massive MIMO systems, hybrid beamforming is an essential technique for exploiting the potential array gain without using a dedicated RF chain for each antenna. In this work, we consider the data phase in a massive MIMO communication process, where the transmitter and receiver use fewer RF chains than antennas. We examine several different fullyand partially connected schemes and consider the...
