This paper presents the analysis of the amplitude distortion occurring in the transmission of super wideband AM signal when the amplitude and phase variations of the upper and lower sidebands of the AM signal are symmetrical, and odd symmetrical with respect to the carrier. It is shown that the case where the amplitude variations of the upper and lower sidebands of AM signal are symmetrical with respect to the carrier while the phase variations of the upper and lower sidebands are odd symmetrical with respect to the carrier induce, no amplitude distortion in AM signal transmission.

In this paper, a power amplifier intermodulation distortion has been analyzed to improve linearity and the analysis results are used to minimize the distortion for linear power amplifier design. The proposed design technique is which the intermodulation distortions of the final amplifier are removed by driver intermodulation distortions. This proposed technique is based on AM to AM distortion analysis using power series, and AM to PM distortion analysis results using Bessel function. To verify this technique implement a cellular HPA(High Power Amplifier) 30W. From the results of the implementation and measurement for the linear power amplifier, the spurious characteristic is shown as 50 dBc at 1.98 MHz with 30 W with 20FA. These results show that distortion characteristics are improved as much as 10 dB in spurious characteristic compared with conventional design method.

In this paepr, the distortion effects of impairments in CDMA transmitter system were analyzed. We considered not only linear distortion effects, for example, I/Q imbalance, quadrature offset and carrier leakage, but also nonlinear distortion effects such as AM-AM and AM-PM noise in power amplifier. To investigate how the impariments impact on the performance of CDMA transmitter, all effects represented as a function of CDMA modulation quality which is an important measure of the transmitted signal. These results show the limitation value of each impairment which is required to satisfy the IS-95 standard.

In this paper, we are going to analyze on relation of an output spectrum along phase distortion of power amplifier in wireless LAN system, and then considered an ACPR characteristic of power amplifier and consideration of an OFDM method for this. Also, we did implementation for OFDM modulation and transmission section of an IEEE 802.11a standard to have transmission speed of the maximum 54Mbps in order to know an OFDM modulation method and relation of non-linear characteristic of power amplifier. The non-linear characteristic of power amplifier did modeling with AM-to-AM and AM-to-PM, and we analyzed an output spectrum characteristic along phase distortion composed input signal supply for power amplifier. When output spectrum analysis results phase distortion increased, and an AM-to-PM characteristic of power amplifier in 5 degrees, the output spectrum was satisfied with a demand spectrum in P1 dB, but 10-20 degrees were able to confirm what cannot be satisfied with a demand spectrum in phase distortion. Also, an output spectrum of power amplifier by frequency re-growth generated by a non-linear characteristic of power amplifier did not satisfied in P1dE. therefore, a back-off value was requested according to an AM-to-PM distortion degree, and smaller back-off value were able to know what demand became in case of modulation section that used OFDM.

In this paper, 2-stage power amplifier has been designed for 5.8GHz wireless LAN application. The power amplifier PldB output power has 21.6dBm at 5.8GHz frequency. Also the power amplifier shows 17.6dB gain and -17.8dB input return loss at 5.725GHz to 5.825GHz. The OFDM modulation and transmission block have been modeled in order to analyse the relationship between the power amplifier distortion and output ACPR for the IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN. The nonlinear characteristic of the power amplifier has been modeled as AM-to-AM and AM-to-PM using the behavioral model, and the output spectrum is analysed with the phase distortion variation. Also, amplifier back-off value from PldB to satisfy the required IEEE 802.11a standard spectrum mask has been simulated with phase distortion, and the simulation data have been compared to the measurement result collected by using the pre-distortion technique.

In this paper, we propose a novel equalizer to compensate for the group delay including AM/PM nonlinear distortion characteristics by the nonlinear power amplifier (PA). The group delay characteristic is a nonlinear non-constant time delay that appears differently depending on each frequency component. The phase distortion by AM/PM characteristics arising from the power amplifier is a major factor to increase group delay. By the group delay distortion, the signal in the constellation expands and is rotated. Considering the problem mentioned above, the nonlinear time delay that appears differently depending on each frequency component is classified as a static group delay and AM/PM characteristic of PA, the different phase transitions depending on the size of input signal as a dynamic group delay. Static group delay estimates and compensate for phase distortions in the frequency domain with type-based method and dynamic group delay compensates for phase rotation in the time domain. We confirmed that the group delay compensation techniques were enough to compensate the group delay characteristics including AM/PM characteristics of the power amplifier.

In order to predict the effect of power amplifier non-linearity for digital modulated signal, this paper analyses the adjacent channel power ratio(ACPR) with the various AM-to-PM distortion levels. As the phase distortion increases from 0$^{\circ}$ to 12$^{\circ}$ at 1㏈compression point by 2.4$^{\circ}$ step, the input power level which satisfies the required ACPR decreases from 3.5㏈ to 6.5㏈ less than the 1㏈ compression input power.
