This paper presents a novel technique for power amplifier linearization in digital microwave radio systems. The proposed technique is based on the use of a predistortion circuit, whose AM/AM and AM/PM responses are separately implemented as polynomial approximations of the respective responses of the ideal linearizer. The proposed scheme is shown to attain superior performance in comparison with other well-known predistortion structures, such as those based on the cancellation of third or fifth order distortion, with no substantial aggravation in implementation complexity.

Abstract

This paper presents a novel technique for power amplifier linearization in digital microwave radio systems. The proposed technique is based on the use of a predistortion circuit, whose AM/AM and AM/PM responses are separately implemented as polynomial approximations of the respective responses of the ideal linearizer. The proposed scheme is shown to attain superior performance in comparison with other well-known predistortion structures, such as those based on the cancellation of third or fifth order distortion, with no substantial aggravation in implementation complexity.
