Abstract

A new adaptation algorithm for the digital predistorter is presented. The proposed technique employs the real-time transmitted signals through HPA for the table update. Hence the proposed algorithm does not depend on modulation format and the signal transmission of HPA is not affected during the adaptation process. The experimental results are presented to verify the proposed method and we obtained about 8.4 dB of ACPR improvement.

본 논문에서는 실시간 입출력 신호를 이용한 전력증폭기의 복소 전달특성 추정법을 제안하였고, 이를 이용한 디지털 사전왜곡기를 설계 제작하였다. 제안된 방법은 입력 신호의 제한이 없어 변조 방식에 무관하게 적용이 가능하며, 임의의 실시간 입력 신호를 이용하므로 전력증폭기를 전달함수를 추정하기 위한 특정 신호(예를 들어, 이중톤 신호 등)의 입력이 불필요하다. 실험결과로 실시간 입출력을 이용한 전달함수와 측정 결과를 비교 제시하였고, 이를 적응 사전왜곡기에 적용한 경우 약 8.4 dB의 인접채널전력비 개선효과를 얻을 수 있었다.
