Effects of Non-Ideal Pre-Distorter High Power Amplifiers in WCDMA Using Multi-User Detectors
نویسنده
چکیده
Wide band code division multiple access (WCDMA) signals, transmitted by the base station high power amplifiers (HPAs), show high peak to average power ratios (PAPR), which results in nonlinear distortions. In this paper, using computer simulations effect of using a predistorted HPA on the symbol error rate (SER) of multi-user detectors in terms of output back-off (OBO) in the transmit power is analyzed. As well, using polynomials for modeling predistorters to remove nonlinear distortions of traveling wave tube amplifiers (TWTAs) and of solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs), effect of different degrees of polynomials on the SER is investigated. Simulation results show that a polynomial of degree 4 is a sufficient degree polynomial, which fits to the AM/AM characteristic of the predistorter for TWTAs. As well, for solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs) with different p values, different approximations are considered and sufficient degree polynomials are found.

متن کاملFPGA 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...

250 Abstract—Trellis coding combined with expanded signal sets has been considered in this paper to improve error performance over uncoded modulation. New communications services have created the demand for highly linear high power amplifiers (HPA's). Traveling Wave Tubes Amplifiers (TWTA) continue to offer the best microwave HPA performance in terms of power efficiency, size and cost, but lag...
