In this paper, we propose a pre-distortion method using the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm to cope with hish PAPR(Peak to Average Power Ratio) problem in OFDM communication system. This proposed scheme estimates the distortion characteristics of HPA, and changes the characteristic against the distortion. Therefore, it can be shown that the adaptive characteristic of the NLMS pre-distorter is good to track the various nonlinear characteristic of HPA, even though HPA characteristic is changed by temperature variation or aging. From the performance analysis, SNR efficiency of NLMS pre-distorter is about $0.5\;\cal{dB}$ less than that of common numerical non-adaptive pre-distorter, when IBO(Input Back Off) is $0\;\cal{dB}$. However, the NLMS pre-distorter is better than the common numerical pre-distorter, because these two pre-distorters have similar performance in higher than $3\;\cal{dB}$ IBO, and the NLMS pre-distorter maintains the constant performance even though characteristic of HPA is changed.

Nonlinear distortion arising from the nonlinear movement of the loudspeaker diaphragm degradates the tone quality. The distortion is, in low frequency range, mainly caused by nonlinear characteristics of the suspension stiffness and the force factor. In this paper, the nonlinear suspension stiffness and the nonlinear force factor are modeled to the quadratic functions and a method is proposed to determine their coefficients. An additional mass to the diaphragm moved the quiescent point of the diaphragm and uncoupled the stiffness and the force factor. This made it possible to deter mine the coefficients of the nonlinear suspension stiffness by measuring the resonance frequencies at several quiescent points. The coefficients of the nonlinear force factor are then determined by fitting the curve which is calculated from the waveforms of input voltage and input current, and the displacement of the diaphragm at resonance frequency.

In this paper, we design a digital predistortion(DPD) for linearity enhancement of RF power amplifier operating in 900 MHz band. We verify improvement of linearity by comparing the proposed DPD using tanh as a nonlinear indexing function and the DPD using linear indexing function based on signal amplitude. The digital predistortion is realized by look-up table(LUT) method, and the Saleh model is employed for power amplifier modeling, then a commercial power amplifier module is used for measurement. The LUT has 256 tables, and the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm was utilized for an adaptive algorithm for estimation. As a result, we improve the ACLR(Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio) by around 15 dB.

일반적인 통신 시스템에서 높은 전력을 가지는 출력 신호를 얻기 위하여 고전력증폭기(HPA)의 사용은 필수적이다. 그러나 HPA를 통과한 신호는 AM/AM 및 AM/PM의 비선형왜곡이 발생하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 그 결과 송신신호의 대역내 신호 스펙트럼이 왜곡되고 신호의 대역폭을 확장시켜 인접채널에 간섭을 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 HPA의 비선형 왜곡 특성을 보상하기 위하여 기저대역에서 룩업테이블(LUT)을 이용한 전치왜곡기의 동작 알고리듬을 제안한다. 먼저, LUT의 빠른 초기화를 위하여 송신신호로부터 HPA의 특성을 예측하여LUT를 초기화 시키는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 그리고 통신중에 HPA의 특성이 변화할 경우에 대비하여 평균자승오차를 최소화하는 적응알고리듬을 제안한다.

In this paper, musical tone, especially instrument tones are synthesized using nonlinear distortion technique. Nonlinear distortion is very simple but versatile method when you synthesize musical instrument tones. It basically consists of one sine oscillator and amplifier which makes distortion to Input wave. Output wave has many harmonics that can be controlled by varying shaping function, which is the transfer function of nonlinear amplifier. Shaping function Is obtained from the analyzed harmonic amplitude data. Given harmonics amplitudes, Chebyshev polynomial is used to produce the shaping function that exactly makes the given harmonics at steady state. We contructed non -real time nonlinear distortion synthesizer program running at IBM-PC. To quantify the satis faction of synthesised tones, listening test is carried out, and the result is presented.

HPA is one of the most essential device in wireless communication systems. However, because of nonlinear characteristic of HPA transmit signal is distorted with both amplitude and phase, this distortion leads to deepening adjacent channel interference. So a technique to change the nonlinear characteristic with linear characteristic is needed. In this paper, Among all techniques, we adopts a polynomial pre-distortion technique. Pre-distorted signal by pre-distorter has opposite characteristic with HPA. In result, the signal passed through pre-distorter and HPA has linear characteristic. But the accuracy of opposite characteristic of HPA is decreased at near portion of saturation point. So we improve the accuracy of opposite characteristic of HPA by using PAPR reduction method. In this paper, an adaptive polynomial pre-distortion technique is introduced to counterbalance the nonlinear characteristic of the transmit power amplifier, and a PAPR reduction method is introduced to increase efficiency of polynomial pre-distorter.

The receiver performance is degraded by nonlinear memory problem in communication system. The pre-distorter techniques are an effective technique to compensate for the nonlinear distortion of the HPA without memory effects. However, memory effect of HPA can no longer be ignored when data signal is transmitted in high speed. Many adaptive pre-distorter schemes have been studied to compensate for memory effect problem of HPA in transmitter. The complexity and cost of satellite will increase when using adaptive pre-distorter in satellite communication system. In this paper, we propose receiver feedback closed loop pre-distortion technique in order to compensate for nonlinear problem of HPA with memory problem. The purpose of this paper is to reduce complexity and cost of satellite design by using only pre-distorter at terrestrial station.

A CCTV system reduces some number of cameras if we use convex-mirror. In this case, convex-mirror Image distorted, we need transformation to flat images. In the center of mirror images, a transformed image has no distortion, but at near boundary image has plentiful distortion. This distortion is caused by occlusion of angled ray and diffraction. We know that the linear filtering approach cannot separate noise from signal where their Fourier spectra overlap. But using a non-linear discretization method, we shall reduce blurred noise. In this paper, we introduce the backward solution of nonlinear wave equation for reducing blurred noise and biased expansion of equilibrium contour. We propose, after applying the introduced method, and calculate with discretization method. To analysis the experimental result, we investigate to PSNR and get about 4dB better than current method.
