A Time Misalignment Tolerant 2D-Memory Polynomials Predistorter for Concurrent Dual-Band Power Amplifiers

Abstract

This letter proposes a modified 2-D memory polynomial predistorter for concurrent dual band power amplifiers, which is tolerant to the time misalignment between the two bands. The new model is derived from the prior 2-D DPD model by substituting the interpolation expression into it. For performance validation, the proposed method is applied to a dual-band transmitter. In the presence of 4.87 samples time-misalignment existing between the two input signals, the proposed method achieves normalized mean square error of -40 dB and adjacent channel power ratio improvement of about 15 dB in the dual bands. Further experiment shows the proposed 2-D predistorter outperforms 2D-GMP in terms of complexity and signal quality.
