Abstract

This paper presents an efficient digital compensator that can be used for adjustment of gain and phase imbalances in linear amplification with nonlinear components (LINC) transmitters. The proposed compensator is designed in signal component separator (SCS) block using computational digital signal processing (DSP). Complex baseband equivalent signals and systems are considered to analyze error vector magnitude (EVM) and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) of the transmitter. Look up tables (LUT) based on the analyzed EVM and ACPR are used to compensate gain/phase imbalances of RF paths in the LINC transmitter. The suggested method is efficient to implement using computational software and DSP, and thus the compensator is reconfigurable for various input signals and RF transmitters. The LINC transmitter with the proposed compensator is implemented, and the suggested scheme is verified by showing the improvement of EVM and ACPR performance for the transmitted signals.
