An adaptive digital predistortion for compensating nonlinear distortions in RF power amplifier with memory effects

In this paper, an adaptive digital predistortion based on a memory polynomial model is proposed in order to linearize the power amplifier with memory effect. The coefficients of the power amplifier model have been extracted using a least square method and those of predistortion have been identified by applying an indirect learning structure. Finally, the performance of digital predistortion has been demonstrated using the simulation of the power amplifier and the digital predistortion excited by a modulated 16 QAM signal in Matlab software. According to the simulation results, the criterion of adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) declined by around 15 dB and the input/output power spectrum density of the power amplifier has quite similar curves. The linearized power amplifier output spectrum demonstrates the superiority of the proposed predistorter in eliminating the spectral regrowth which is caused by the memory effect in comparison to the other linearization methods.

Polynomial 2.1 GHz RF predistorter IC with envelope injection output

This paper presents the structure, test setup and measured results of a polynomial RF predistorter IC fabricated in a 0.35 μm SiGe BiCMOS process. The predistorter is designed for the base station WCDMA band at 2.1 GHz. The predistortion signal is generated by a 5th-degree complex polynomial. Also a squared envelope is generated that can be used as a baseband injection signal to cancel 2nd-order distortion that typically causes memory effects. The performance of the predistorter was measured by driving a three-stage discrete power amplifier chain by a 2-tone test and a 3.84 MHz wide 3GPP WCDMA modulated signal. The 2-tone test showed more than 20 dB IM3 cancellation and the WCDMA signal’s ACPR was improved by 8 dB.     

Two-Tone and Nine-Tone Excitations in Future Adaptive Predistorted Linearised Basestation Amplifiers of Cellular Radio

Linearisation of a radio basestation amplifier using a third order, a fifth order and a seventh order predistortion scheme is studied. Adaptive predistortion using a third order predistorter improved the amplifier intermodulation distortion (IMD) by between 6.4 dB and 33 dB from the third IMD power level (i.e., maximum power amplitude variation of the IMD), provided by the raw amplifier, as measured by a two tone test. The variation in improvement is due to changes in the input power level. Improvement increases as the input power is backed off from the 1 dB compression point. A fifth order predistorter will give an IMD improvement of 8.7 dB and 48.4 dB if properly adjusted. A seventh order predistorter (with the fifth complex coefficient fixed to zero) will show the best performance, particularly throughout a window (approximately from 1.5 dB to 3 dB away from the 1 dB compression point). The IMD improvement throughout this window within the high input range measures between 9.1 dB to 21.7 dB over that achieved with a fifth order predistorter. For a nine-tone test (with uniformly distributed random phase), a third order predistorter will hardly improve the worst IMD power level, provided by the raw amplifier. A fifth order predistorter, if properly adapted will give an IMD improvement of between 8.8 dB and 41.5 dB from the worst IMD level while a seventh order predistorter will give a close performance to that of a fifth order one. Fixing the predistorter coefficients enables a comparative study of the IMD power level improvement between 5th order fixed and adaptive predistorters, for a nine-tone excitation. A 5th order predistorter with its coefficients fixed to those values obtained for optimum IMD level at a backed-off power input value of 8.5 dB from the 1 dB compression point is found to maintain an IMD power variation better than 55 dB from fundamental power level, throughout the input range, up to the backed-off value.     

Genetic algorithm optimization of a hybrid analog/digital predistorter for RF power amplifiers

This study presents a genetic algorithm optimization of a hybrid analog/digital predistorter, in order to reduce the intermodulation distortion (IMD) caused by the nonlinear properties of the radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA). Designed predistorter based on polynomial work function and the coefficient of the polynomial is optimized in order to reduce IMD by spectrum monitoring. The design procedure and validation of predistorter have been carried out by Agilent-ADS2005A. In order to validate the predistorter two different modulation schemes as CDMA and 16-QAM have been used. Also in order to verifying the linearization a test power amplifier circuit has been examined including Motorola MOSFET MRF9742 showing the nonlinear characteristics with memory. Simulations have been shown that adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) improvements were acceptable for both CDMA and 16-QAM modulation schemes.
