Low-complexity, Multi Sub-band Digital Predistortion

Prototype Implementation of Two Efficient Low-Complexity Digital Predistortion Algorithms

Predistortion (PD) lineariser for microwave power amplifiers (PAs) is an important topic of research. With larger and larger bandwidth as it appears today in modern WiMax standards as well as in multichannel base stations for 3GPP standards, the relatively simple nonlinear effect of a PA becomes a complex memory-including function, severely distorting the output signal. In this contribution, tw...

Multi-Channel Sub-Band Speech Recognition

Two distinct fields of research into robust speech recognition are the use of microphone arrays for signal enhancement and the use of independent frequency sub-band models for robust recognition. In this article, we propose and investigate the integration of these two techniques on two different levels. First, a broad-band beamforming microphone array allows for natural integration with sub-ban...

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...
