Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nonlinearity of RF power amplifiers (PA) is one of critical concerns for RF designers because it causes spectral regrowth related to in-band and out-of-band spurious emissions control in communication standards. Traditionally, RF power amplifiers must be backed off considerably from the peak of their power level in order to prevent spectral regrowth. The digital predistortion (DPD) technique is being widely used for compensation of the nonlinearity of RF power amplifiers, as the high power efficiency becomes increasely important in wireless communication systems. However, the latest generations of communication systems, such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, and LTE, using wider bandwidth have some additional memory distortion, other than the traditional memoryless distortion. The distortion caused by memory effect makes the traditional predistorter not precise any more for the PA linearization. In this dissertation, the traditional prediction of 3rd order memoryless spectrum regrowth is applied to 4G communication signals in terms of the 3rd intercept point of PAs, based on the previous researches in Portland State University led by Professor Fu Li. Then, the spectrum regrowth prediction is extended to an arbitrarily high order with intercept points of an RF power amplifier. A simple predistortion method which enables direct calculation of the predistorter coefficients from the intercept points is also proposed. Furthermore, the memory effect is taken into account for both PA modeling and predistortion. A simplified Hammerstein structure based method is proposed to analyze the nonlinear characteristic of PAs more precisely and completely. By applying the inverse structures of the PA model, the proposed predistorter corrects both the traditional memoryless nonlinear distortions and the memory effect that may exist in RF power amplifiers. The order of nonlinearity and depth of memory of a predistorter can be chosen from 0 to any arbitrarily high number. This increases the flexibility for designers to decide how to linearize power amplifier effectively and efficiently.

This book was released on 2015 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless communication devices transmit message signals which should possess desirable power levels for quality transmission. Power amplifiers are devices in the wireless transmitters which increase the power of signals to the desired levels, but produce nonlinear distortions due to their saturation property, resulting in degradation of the quality of the transmitted signal. First, the thesis studies the e ects of power amplifier nonlinear distortions on communication signals and proposes a simplified design for identification and compensation of the distortions at the receiver end of a wireless communication system using a two-step pilot signal approach. Step one involves the estimation of the channel state information of the wireless channel and step two estimates the power amplifier parameters. Then, the estimated power amplifier parameters are used for transmitter identification with the help of a testing procedure proposed in this thesis. With the evolution of millimeter wave wireless communication systems today, study and analysis of these systems is the need of the hour. Thus, the second part of this thesis is extended to study the performance of millimeter wave wireless communication systems in presence of power amplifier nonlinear distortions and derives an analytical expression for evaluation of the symbol error probability for this system. The proposed analysis evaluates the performance of millimeter wave systems theoretically without the need of complex simulations, and is helpful in studying systems in the absence of actual hardware.

This book was released on 2015-09-22 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MIMO-OFDM transmission systems provide a high spectral efficiency, robustness in the frequency selective channels and flexibility in the resource allocation. However, like a single-input single output (SISO) OFDM systems, similarly MIMO-OFDM has one main drawback i.e. high sensitivity to the nonlinearities in RF front-ends due to the large envelope fluctuation of OFDM-based signals. When a nonlinear high power amplifier (HPA) is used, large back-off is necessary to avoid strong nonlinear distortion causing performance degradation. On the other hand, when the HPA is operating in the linear region, the power efficiency is low. To avoid nonlinear distortion transmitter-side or receiver-side solution can be employed with advantage. Here, a transmitter-side method based on using the tone reservation technique is proposed for the space-frequency block coded (SFBC) OFDM systems with three and more transmit antennas. Then, new receiver-side iterative method for the detection of nonlinearly distorted symbols received by the receiver of SFBC-OFDM transmission system is designed.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of power amplifiers for wireless systems has become a challenging task due to increasingly stringent requirements on transmitters. The Doherty amplifier is an important candidate for this type of application due to its feature of high efficiency over an extended power range. However, Doherty amplifiers in practice have often failed to exhibit the superb efficiency predicted by theory and their linearity is not always adequate to meet strict specifications of systems with high Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) signals such as CDMA systems. The objective of this dissertation is to provide a path for Doherty amplifiers that leads to a simultaneous high efficiency and high linearity performance. First, based on detailed understanding of Doherty amplifier theory and careful investigation of behavior of Doherty amplifiers, a series of guidelines for designing a Doherty amplifier was created. A Doherty amplifier based on GaAs FET devices was accordingly designed in simulation and then fabricated. Simulation and measurement results were compared to provide a description of performance issues of the Doherty amplifier. Following the studies on characteristics of the Doherty amplifier, a new digital signal processing (DSP) control strategy was developed, which involves control of the gate bias voltage of the auxiliary amplifier. DSP was utilized to mitigate gain variations through this bias control and to eliminate phase distortion through baseband phase predistortion. The strategy was shown to significantly improve linearity of the Doherty amplifier, enabling it to meet ACPR specifications with IS-95 signals. The Doherty amplifier also maintained its high efficiency performance. Advantages of analog component based predistortion were also studied and demonstrated by experiments. Finally, in an effort to find a circuit solution for high linearity Doherty amplifiers, nonlinear behavior in Doherty amplifiers was investigated. A simple analytical model was developed based on full transistor models. The model enables nonlinearity analysis associated with each nonlinear component in the transistor. This results in accurate distortion prediction for a Doherty amplifier implemented with HBTs. The model provides diagnosis of nonlinearity in the Doherty amplifier. Accordingly, simple circuit modifications were made to significantly enhance linearity. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of this model.

Download or read book Nonlinear System Identification and Analysis with Applications to Power Amplifier Modeling and Power Amplifier Predistortion written by Raviv Raich and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Power amplifiers (PAs) are important components of communication systems and are inherently nonlinear. When a non-constant modulus signal goes through a nonlinear PA, spectral regrowth (broadening) appears in the PA output, which in turn causes adjacent channel interference (ACI). Stringent limits on the ACI are imposed by regulatory bodies, and thus the extent of the PA nonlinearity must be controlled. PA linearization is often necessary to suppress spectral regrowth, contain adjacent channel interference, and reduce bit error rate (BER). This dissertation addresses the following aspects of power amplifier research: modeling, linearization, and spectral regrowth analysis. We explore the passband and baseband PA input/output relationships and show that they manifest differently when the PA exhibits long-term, short-term, or no memory effects. The so-called quasi-memoryless case is especially clarified. Four particular nonlinear models with memory are further investigated. We provide experimental results to support our analysis. The benefits of using the orthogonal polynomials as opposed to the conventional polynomials are explored, in the context of digital baseband PA modeling and predistorter design. A closed-form expression for the orthogonal polynomial basis is derived. We demonstrate the improvement in numerical stability associated with the use of orthogonal polynomials for predistortion. Spectral analysis can help to evaluate the suitability of a given PA for amplifying certain signals or to assist in predistortion linearization algorithm design. With the orthogonal polynomials that we derived, spectral analysis of the nonlinear PA becomes a straightforward task. We carry out nonlinear spectral analysis with digitally modulated signal as input. We demonstrate an analytical approach for evaluating the power spectra of filtered QPSK and OQPSK signals after nonlinear amplification. Many communications devices are nonlinear and have a peak power or peak amplitude constraint. In addition to possibly amplifying the useful signal, the nonlinearity also generates distortions. We focus on signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) optimization within the family of amplitude limited memoryless nonlinearities. We obtain a link between the capacity of amplitude-limited nonlinear channels with Gaussian noise to the SNDR.
