Harmonic Signal Linearization of Nonlinear Power Amplifier Using Digital Predistortion for Multiband Wireless Transmitter

Power Amplifier Linearization Using Digiital Predistortion

For wideband or high power applications, the power amplifier exhibits memory effects, for which memory less predistorters can achieve only limited linearization performance. The memory polynomial predistorter can correct both the nonlinear distortions and the linear frequency response that may exist in the power amplifier. It is a robust predistorter, which has demonstrated good performance on ...

Diode Predistortion Linearization for Power Amplifier RFICs in Digital Radios

The recent trend in modern information technology has been towards the increased use of portable and handheld devices such as cellular telephones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), and wireless networks. This trend presents the need for compact and power efficient radio systems. Typically, the most power inefficient device in a radio system is the power amplifier (PA). PA inefficiency require...

Adaptive Digital Baseband Predistortion for RF Power Amplifier Linearization

Power amplifiers (PAs) are vital components in many communication systems. To be transmitted wirelessly, a signal must be amplified with high fidelity so as to account for attenuation through the channel or propagation medium. The linearity of a PA response constitutes an important factor that ensures signal integrity and reliable performance of the communication system. Unfortunately, PAs are ...

Class-E power amplifier and its linearization using analog predistortion

In this paper, power amplifier operating with center frequency of 947.5 MHz, which can be used for the transmitter in beamforming systems, is proposed. The power amplifier implemented provides high power added efficiency (PAE) of 71.967% and low noise figure (NF) as low as 1.525. The linearity of the power amplifier is improved by using square law and cubic law analog predistortion techniques. ...
