Abstract
Linearization techniques such as digital predistortion (DPD) are often employed to enhance the overall performance of power amplifiers (PAs). The specific performance requirements of a system typically depend on the application. For this reason, the implementation of a DPD technique after the fabrication of a PA can result in significant overhead cost. To ensure high performance with minimum cost prior to fabrication, it is beneficial to utilize a simulation method for design optimization of both the PA and the DPD. A simulation approach was developed to enable concurrent design optimizations of a PA along with its DPD algorithm using commercially available software. Simulation results obtained with a 10 W inverted Doherty power amplifier design and a DPD solution are presented to demonstrate the proposed approach.
