Adaptive Digital Predistortion of Laser Diode Nonlinearity for Wireless Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
Nonlinearity of a directly modulated laser diode imposes limitations in the performance of fiber based wireless access schemes. Previously, laser diode nonlinearity has been investigated in CATV related applications. In the CATV scenario, analog optoelectronic compensation schemes have been widely attempted due to the analog nature modulating signals. However, fiber based wireless schemes provide a unique opportunity for digital compensation. In this scenario, although the modulating signal is analog radio signal at several GHz, the information is conveyed through baseband digital symbols that have few Mbps bit rate. The nonlinear distortion of the laser, therefore, reflects on the amplitude and phase distortion of these vector modulated baseband information sequence and, correcting these distortions at baseband symbol rate is adequate. This fact is used in this paper to attempt an adaptive digital predistortion for wireless applications.

Higher Order Adaptive Filter Based Predistortion for Nonlinear Distortion Compensation of Radio over Fiber Links
The biggest limitation of Radio over Fiber (ROF) links in a wireless network is its limited dynamic range due to ‘Non Linear Distortions’ (NLD). In this paper a higher order adaptive filter based modeling and predistortion scheme is proposed to compensate this NLD. The filter is adapted from the distortions of vectormodulated symbols, so that no in-depth knowledge of physical link parameters ...

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...
