Analysis of Power Amplifier Modeling Schemes for Crosscorrelation Predistorters
نویسنده
چکیده
Amplification of signals with fluctuating envelopes leads to distortion because of non-linear behavior of the Power Amplifier (PA). Digital Predistortion can counteract these non-linear effects. A crosscorrelation predistorter is a digital predistorter, based on the calculation of crosscorrelation functions using coarsely quantized signals. The crosscorrelation functions are transformed to the frequency domain and the spectra are used to calculate the coefficients of the predistorter memory polynomial. This method has reduced complexity and equivalent performance in comparison with existing schemes. In this paper, four alternative schemes to implement a crosscorrelation predistorter are analyzed. The PA characteristics can be determined either directly or indirectly using ’normal’ or orthogonal polynomials giving four alternatives. All four alternatives give significant reduction of Adjacent Channel Interference. Keywords— Power Amplifiers, Digital Predistortion, Crosscorrelation, Fourier Transform, Memory Polynomial.

For wideband or high power applications, the power amplifier exhibits memory effects, for which memory less predistorters can achieve only limited linearization performance. The memory polynomial predistorter can correct both the nonlinear distortions and the linear frequency response that may exist in the power amplifier. It is a robust predistorter, which has demonstrated good performance on ...

In this paper we present measured inand output data of a power amplifier (PA). We compare this data with an AM-AM and AM-PM model. We conclude that a more sophisticated PA model is needed to cope with severe memory effects. We suggest to use memory polynomials and introduce two approaches to deduce the polynomial coefficients from the measured data: the Least-Squares and Crosscorrelation approa...
