چکیده
Spectrally efficient linear modulation techniques are used in the third generation systems and their performance is strongly dependent on the linearity of the transmission system, Also, the efficiency of the amplifier to be used has to be maximized, which means that it must work near saturation. Newer transmission formats, with wide bandwidths, such as multi carrier wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), wireless local area network (WLAN), worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX), are especially vulnerable to PA nonlinearities, due to their high peak-to-average power ratio, corresponding to large fluctuations in their signal envelopes. In order to comply with spectral masks imposed by regulatory bodies and to reduce BER, PA linearization is necessary. A number of linearization techniques have been reported in recent years (Cripps, 1999;Kennington, 2000; kim & Konstantinou, 2001;Wright & Durtler 1992;Woo, et al. 2007; Nagata, 1989). One technique that can potentially compensate for power amplifier (PA) nonlinearities in such an environment is the adaptive digital predistortion technique. The concept is based on inserting a non-linear function (the inverse function of the amplifier) between the input signal and the amplifier to produce a linear output. The digital predistortion (DPD) requires to be adaptive because of variation in power amplifier nonlinearity with time, temperature and different operating channels and so on. Another limitation of predistortion is the dependence of amplifier’s transfer characteristic’s on the frequency content of the signal or defined as changes of the amplitude and phase in distortion components due to past signal values, that is called memory effects. The memory effects compensation is an important issue of the DPD algorithm in addition to correction of power amplifier (PA) nonlinearity especially when the signal bandwidth increases. Many studies are involved in this technique but many of them suffer from limitations in bandwidth, precision or stability (Cavers, 1990;Wright & Durtler 1992;Nagata, 1989). In this reseach a new technique of adaptive digital predistortion that is the combination of two techniques, the gain based predistorter (Cavers, 1990) and memory polynomial model 9

FPGA 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...

The application of digital predistortion in base band signal is an extended method of amplifier linearization to reduce the Adjacent Channel Interference (ACI) in those systems in which a varying envelope modulation scheme like OFDM and MQAM is used. Digital baseband predistortion is a highly cost-effective way to linearize Power amplifiers (PAs), but most existing architectures assume that the...
