Abstract
The application of digital predistortion in base band signal is an extended method of amplifier linearization to reduce the adjacent channel interference (ACI) in those systems in which a varying envelope modulation scheme like OFDM and MQAM is used. Digital baseband predistortion is a highly cost-effective way to linearize power amplifiers (PAs), but most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity. For wider bandwidth applications such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or wideband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (W-OFDM), PA memory effects can no longer be ignored. In this paper we proposed a new technique for adaptation of digital predistorter that considers memory effects in power amplifiers. This method is a combination of two techniques, memory polynomial predistortion and slope-dependent method. This new technique is validated by using a 1.9 GHz 60 W LDMOS power amplifier and various signals such as 2-carrier and 3-carrier CDMA and IS95 CDMA
