In a visible light communication (VLC) system using LEDs, its nonlinearity degrades the performance. If it is compensated by using predistortion and LED's linear range is extended, then a large signal can be used as an LED input and the performance of VLC will be improved. In this paper, a predistortion curve is made by periodic measurement of LED nonlinearity, and the experimental results of predistorted OFDM is provided.

This paper presents a novel linearization scheme for a nonlinear RF amplifier It is based on the amplitude modulation with envelope signal. The 3rd order distortion generator is composed of two FETs and it adopts a balanced structure for the purpose of main carrier cancellation. The amplitude and phase of the IM3 component can be controlled at RF band. This predistorter is implemented and tested at the KOREA PCS Tx. band (1840∼1870MHz). Experimental results of two-tone test show that the IM3 cancellation is achieved about 30-40 ㏈ for the wide dynamic range. The adjacent channel power ratio is improved by over 10 ㏈ at the broad-band CDMA signal with a peak to average power ratio of l0㏈, and this improvement is maintained through a wide range of output power levels.

본 논문은 도허티 증폭기 및 포락선 전치 왜곡기를 이용한 전력 증폭기의 효율 및 선형성 개선에 관한 것이다. 전력 증폭기의 효율을 개선하기 위하여 도허티 증폭기를 제작하여 효율 특성을 개선하였으며, 포락선 전치 왜곡기를 이용하여 도허티 증폭기의 선형성 개선량에 대하여 조사하였다. 제작된 도허티 증폭기는 AB 급으로 동작시킨 전력 증폭기와 비교하여 출력 전력 10W에서 8.5%의 효율 개선 효과를 보였으며, 출력 전력 40W에서 12.6%의 효율 개선 특성을 나타내었다. 포락선 전치 왜곡기를 이용한도 허티 증폭기는 출력 전력 10W에서 7dB의 선 형성 개선 효과를 나타내었다. IMT-2000 주파수 대역에서 WCDMA down-link 4 carrier 신호를 이용하여 출력 전력 10W에서 측정한 결과 AB 급으로 동작하는 전력 증폭기와 비교하여 4.2%의 효율 개선 및 6.3dB의 선형성 개선 효과를 나타내었다.

This paper proposes pre-distorter combined LUT with 2ιpartition interpolation method to reduce nonlinear distortion which was caused by high PAPR and to update LUT quickly. Pre-distorted gain and phase can be found by using LUT which consisted of AM/AM and AM/PM value, and OFDM signal amplitude. The proposed 2ιpartition interpolation can accurately find predistorted gain and phase using bit shift and add component instead of increasing size of LUT which requires increasing the amount of computation. The performance of the proposed method was measured by the difference between HPA input and output characteristics by the LUT size, constellation, SER performance by the HPA, and LUT update error by the HPA characteristic changes. As a result, it is shown that when the size of the LUT is 32 and 64 for 16-QAM and 64-QAM, nonlinear distortion nearly didn't occurred.

In this paper, a new type predistorter using a low frequency intermodulation signals terms of harmonic generator is proposed. A vector modulator, in which fundamental signal is modulated with low frequency intermodulation signals derived from harmonic generator, generates predistorted third and fifth IM components. Using predistorted signals, intermodulation distortion signals of power amplifier suppressed. The suggested predistorter has been manufactured to operate in Korean PCS base-station transmitting band (1840~1870MHz). The test results show that the third IMD signal level is reduced more than 20dB and the fifth IMD signal is reduced about 10dB for CW two-tone signals. The predistorter improves the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) more than 10dB for CDMA (IS-95) signals.

The new architecture for the stabilization of an adaptive linearizer using the RLS algorithm is presented. The delay lock loop is apl)lied to compensate the feedback loop delay of the nonlinear amplifier output, and the Yang's algorithm is used to mitigate the numerical unstability of the RLS algorithm. This method is applied to the linearizer using the polynomial predistorter, and it's efficacy is verified by the simulation of the proposed structure.

This thesis intends to analyze tooth distortion by mandibular arch form by reproducing existing panorama image and reconstructed panorama image of Cone Beam CT data with the three-dimensional computer program. The diameter of tooth measured in Cone Beam CT's cross-section image and reconstructed panorama was synchronized without any big change from incisors to posteriors. But, panorama showed serious distortion as going to posteriors after showing a little distortion in incisors. The panorama reconstructed for patients' individual arch showed reduced distortion than panoramas used generally. In addition, panorama showed serious distortion from incisors to posteriors and it means that distortion is reduced in reconstructed panorama.

In this paper, we propose a predistortion technique which uses a novel combination of the second harmonic technique and the difference frequency technique to achieve independent control of the 3rd and 5th order intermodulation products generated by the PA. The second harmonic and difference frequency terms are generated using an envelope detector and two frequency multipliers. The RF predistorter has capability to independently control of the 3rd and 5th order intermodulation products so that high power amplifier is optimized for linear characteristics. From the measurement results, over the frequency band 2137.5 MHz to 2142.5 MHz, ACPR reduction of 11 dB is obtained for a single 30 dBm W-CDMA carrier.
