Abstract
This paper tackles the hardware complexity of a digital predistortion (DPD) system used to linearize a power amplifier (PA) driven with interband carrier aggregated (CA) signals (i.e., two component carriers with different modulation bandwidths and wide frequency separations). It focuses particularly on reducing the required bandwidth, and number of channels, of the transmitter's observation receiver (TOR) as well as the specifications of the underlying building blocks (e.g., speed of the analog-to-digital converter). A novel dualband DPD system using a single TOR was devised. The training of the DPD for each band was carried out in an alternating fashion, using a single training engine following a model-reference adaptive control approach with a recursive least squares algorithm. The proposed approach was experimentally validated by successfully linearizing a 20-W Class F Doherty PA driven with different multistandard CA signals.
