Abstract

In this paper, we presents an analytical simulation procedure for evaluation in baseband digital modulated signals distortions in the present of RF power amplifier(SSPA) nonlinear behavior and backoff operations of OFDM wireless transmission system. we obtained the optimum nonlinear transfer function of designed SSPA with the SiGe HBT bias currents of OFDM multi-channel wireless transmission system and compared this transfer function to SSPA nonlinear modeling functions mathematically, we finds optimum bias conditions of designed SSPA. With the derived nonlinear modeling function of SSPA, We analysed the PSD characteristics of in-band and out-band output powers of SSPA EVM measurement results of distorted constellation signals with the input power levels of SSPA. The results of paper can be applied to find the SSPA linearly with optimum bias currents and determine the SSPA input backoff bias for AGC control circuits of SSPA.

본 논문에서는 다 채널 무선전송시스템에서 RF증폭기(SSPA)의 비 선형과 백-오프동작에 따른 기저대역 디지털변조신호의 왜곡을 분석하였다. OFDM 다 채널 무선전송시스템에서 적용되는 SiGe HBT의 바이어스 전류를 가변 시켜 설계한 SSPA의 비 선형 전력전달함수를 구하고 이 전달함수에 수학적으로 비 선형 모델링 함수와 비교 분석함으로서 최적 바이어스조건을 구하였다. RF 증폭기에 입력전력을 가변 시켰을 때 SSPA의 대역-내에서의 출력전력과 대역-외에서의 출력전력을 구했으며, 입력전력에 따른 디지털 변조신호의 성상도 왜곡을 분석하였다. 본 연구의 결과는 선형동작을 위한 RF증폭기의 적응바이어스 설계와 선형화를 위한 SSPA의 백-오프 동작 최적 바이어스를 결정하는데 매우 유용하게 응용될 수 있다.
