Linearisation of Power Amplifiers, Using Minimal Control Synthesis
نویسندگان
چکیده
This report is centred on the development of a novel control algorithm for the adaptive linearisation of mobile radio frequency (RF) communications amplifiers, in order to significantly improve their distortion characteristics. The proposed adaptive linearisation methodology achieves optimal efficiency with minimal distortion. Research objectives also include the synthesis of RF amplifier dynamic models, which are generated by Saleh`s model, and the design and test of physical test systems incorporating the new forms of control.

Effects of Non-Ideal Pre-Distorter High Power Amplifiers in WCDMA Using Multi-User Detectors
Wide band code division multiple access (WCDMA) signals, transmitted by the base station high power amplifiers (HPAs), show high peak to average power ratios (PAPR), which results in nonlinear distortions. In this paper, using computer simulations effect of using a predistorted HPA on the symbol error rate (SER) of multi-user detectors in terms of output back-off (OBO) in the transmit power...

متن کاملLow-distortion low-voltage operational transconductance amplifier
Introduction: Recent research shows a high demand for highly linear operational transconductance amplifiers (OTAs) with an aim to reduce total harmonic distortion (THD) [1–4]. However, most of these linearisation techniques may present important drawbacks such as reduced effective transconductance and significant power consumption. On the other hand, low power supply and power consumption solut...
متن کاملFPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
