Linearization of a Pulse Width Modulated Power Amplifier

چکیده
Currently, the cellphone industry is moving towards an integrated CMOS solution for power amplifiers. Cheaper phones for consumers and better bottom lines for companies are the result of this. The goal of this thesis is to investigate the use of pulse width modulation in a high efficiency integrated CMOS power amplifier for a wireless application. Though high efficiency CMOS power amplifiers exist in academia, the goal of this project is to explore pulse width modulation as a method of adjusting power. Pulse width modulation can potentially be used to create a higher bandwidth system. The challenge of this architecture is creating linear dynamic range. In simulations, feedback improved the pulse width modulated power amplifier linear dynamic range to 23dB. Thesis Supervisor: Michael H. Perrott Title: Assistant Professor

Tms320c67-based Design of a Digital Audio Power Amplifier Introducing Novel Feedback Strategy
The fundamental problem of pulse-width modulation (PWM) based open-loop digital Class-D audio power amplifiers is the inherent nonlinearity of the PWM process, which necessitates the application of a precompensating linearization algorithm. Severe technical difficulties arising from the stringent speed requirements of both electronic circuitry, and digital signal processing devices make the imp...

In this paper, computer simulation of a three-phase synchronous motor drive is described. This drive/system is supplied with a new type of pulse-width modulated voltage source inverter (PWM VSI) whose amplitude of the first harmonic, compared to a conventional sinusoidal PWM VSI, is increased by about 17% and whose amplitude of higher harmonics is also reduced inversely proportional to their or...

متن کاملPower Amplifier Linearization Using Six-port Receiver for DVB-S2 Satellite Communications
A digital look-up table adaptive predistortion technique using a six-port receiver for power amplifier linearization is presented. The system is designed in Ka-band for a DVB-S2 satellite link. We use a six-port receiver at the linearizationloop in place of classic heterodyne receivers. The six-port receiver is implemented by the use of passive microwavecircuits and detector diodes. This approa...

This paper presents a Class-D power amplifier for bandpass pulse width modulated (BP-PWM) and bandpass deltasigma modulated (BP-DSM) signals at 20 MHz. A 1-bit 6-th order topology is used in the ∆Σ-modulator. Integral noise shaping is used in the generation of the bandpass pulse width modulated signal. A two sided pulse width modulation is used with a 6-bit 4th-order noise shaper. The push-pull...
