Abstract

Power amplifiers are the major source of nonlinearity in communications systems. Such nonlinearity causes spectral regrowth as well as in-band distortion, which leads to adjacent channel interference and increased bit error rate. Polynomials are often used to model the nonlinear power amplifier or its predistortion linearizer. In this paper, we present a novel set of orthogonal polynomials for baseband Gaussian input to replace the conventional polynomials and show how they alleviate the numerical instability problem associated with the conventional polynomials. The orthogonal polynomials also provide an intuitive means of spectral regrowth analysis.
