Power Efficiency Improvements through Peak-to-Average Power Ratio Reduction and Power Amplifier Linearization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many modern communication signal formats, such as orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and code-division multiple access (CDMA), have high peak-to-average power ratios (PARs). A signal with a high PAR not only is vulnerable in the presence of nonlinear components such as power amplifiers (PAs), but also leads to low transmission power efficiency. Selected mapping (SLM) and clipping are well-known PAR reduction techniques. We propose to combine SLMwith threshold clipping and digital baseband predistortion to improve the overall efficiency of the transmission system. Testbed experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Theoretical analysis of the trade-off between efficiency and linearity of the High Power Amplifier in OFDM context
Power efficiency and linearity are key parameters of amplification systems but they cannot be achieved simultaneously. A perfect linearity is observed when the power efficiency is low and vice versa. In this paper, we first analyze through some theoretical expressions, the power efficiency and the linearity measured by the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) metric. Then we propose an analytical trade...

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...

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) is an effective parallel multi-carrier transmission scheme. However, this technique has one weakness of a higher transmission signal Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) when the signal is transmitted. To reduce the impact of High Power Amplifier (HPA) nonlinearity on OFDM system, this paper proposes the combination of improved clipping and filter...
