An Improvement Method for Reducing Power Amplifiers Memory Effects Based on Complex Gain Predistortion
نویسندگان
چکیده
Efficient RF power amplifiers used in third generation systems require linearization in order to reduce adjacent channel inter-modulation distortion, without sacrificing efficiency. Digital baseband predistortion is a highly cost-effective way to linearize power amplifiers (PAs), but most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity. For wider bandwidth applications such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (W-OFDM), PA memory effects can no longer be ignored. In this paper we proposed a technique for adaptation of digital predistorter that considers memory effects in power amplifiers.

متن کاملComplex Gain Predistortion in WCDMA Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers are essential components in communication systems and are inherently nonlinear. The nonlinearity creates spectral growth beyond the signal bandwidth, which interferes with adjacent channels. It also causes distortions within the signal bandwidth, which decreases the bit error rate at the receiver. In digital predistortion system, an inverse characteristic of power amplifier is ...

— This paper presents a new method of digital adaptive predistortion for linearization of Power Amplifiers (PA) exhibiting memory effects. The predistorter (PD) device consists of a Look-Up-Table (LUT) gain followed by a codebook of filters addressed by the index of the LUT. The adaptation is derived from direct learning for the LUT gains and indirect learning for the filter coefficients. We co...
