Abstract

This papers describes a nonlinear transfer function modelling of designed GaAs FET power amplifier by measured and simulated values of designed PA amplifier for multi­carrier transmission system, With the results of PA nonlinearity characteristic, we can estimates AM­AM and AM­PM of designed PA. According to the estimated nonlinear characteristics, we can analysis the ACPR of PA for spectral regrowth, the error vector measurement(EVM) of constallation signals and bit error rate of QPSK and 64­QAM. The suggested nonlinear modelling results are used to get an accurate estimate of digital characteristics between PA amplifier and wireless multi­carrier transmission system using OFDM.

본 논문에서는 GaAsFET 전력증폭기를 다중반송 통신시스템에서 적용시키고자 설계한 PA증폭기의 측정된 전달함수를 비선형 모델링 한 결과를 제시하였으며 모델링 한 결과를 가지고 설계한 RF 증폭기의 AM­AM 및 AM­PM 비선형 특성을 추정하였다. 추정된 비선형특성 의하여 다중반송전송시스템에서의 증폭기의 근접채널간섭특성(ACPR), QPSK 및 64­QAM과 같은 디지털 변조 신호에 대하여 성상도에서의 데이터 오차벡터의 크기(EVM) 및 BER 관계를 분석하였다. 본 연구에서 제시한 RF GaAs FET의 비선형 모델링은 OFDM을 이용하는 무선 다중반송전송시스템 설계에 적용할 수 있으며 전력증폭기와 디지털 변조 신호에 따른 비선형 관계를 정확하게 추정할 수 있다.
