A high power amplifier(HPA) has widely been used in wireless communications. In order to have a maximum power efficiency, the HPA uses a saturation domain having nonlinear characteristics, which generates nonlinear distortions to decrease the transmission efficiency. In order to solve this problem, various methods to linearize HPA have been reported until now, and the pre-distorter method is very attractive among them. In this paper, a new enhanced adaptive pre-distorter method was proposed to be applied for compensating nonlinear distortions of HPA. Through computer simulations as well as the analytical analysis, it could be shown that it is possible for both conventional adaptive pre-distorter and proposed adaptive pre-distorter, to be applied for linearizing HPA. Also, the simulations results demonstrated that the proposed adaptive pre-distorter may have faster convergence speed and better capability of compensating the nonlinear distortion than the conventional adaptive pre-distorter with nearly equal computation complexity.

고효율 변조기법 (16 QAM or 64QAM)이 비선형 고전력 증폭기 (High-Power Amplifier; HPA)를 사용하는 통신시스템에 적용되었을 때 비선형 왜곡에 의해 성능저하가 발생할 수 있다. 이런 비선형 왜곡은 수신부에서 복잡도가 낮은 LMS 알고리즘을 적용한 적응적 비선형 Volterra 등화기를 사용하여 보상할 수 있지만, 매우 느린 수렴 속도를 가지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 수렴 속도를 향상시키기 위한 병렬 M대역 이산 웨이블릿 변환영역 LMS (Parallel M-band Discrete Wavelet Transform Least Mean Square) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 기법이 기존의 시간 영역 LMS 알고리즘과 변환 영역 LMS 알고리즘들에 비해 수렴 속도가 우수함을 보여준다.

In this paper, the effect of nonlinear distortion, caused by a high-power amplifier (HPA) in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system, on the receiver part is analyzed. Since the HPA, which can be modeled by a memoryless Volterra system, distorts OFDM signals in a nonlinear fashion, the received signal at each subchannel includes the multiplicative distortion of 1-st order as well as additive nonlinear distortion of higher-order. The nonlinear distortion can be viewed as a nonlinear interchannel interference (NICI) since it consists of harmonic distortions and intermodulation distortions, produced by other subchannels affecting the subchannel of interest. In this paper, were analytically derive the variance of NICI in terms of average input power using the Volterra model for HPA, and then calculate the bit-error rate (BER) performance of an OFDM system. Also, we propose a simple method to compensate for the phase distortion in OFDM system amplified by HPA, and calculate its BER performance. Validity of the proposed approach is verified by computer simulations for an OFDM system employing 16-QAM constellation input.

OFDM/FH communication system Is widely used in the wireless communication for the large capacity and high-speed data transmission. However, phase noise and PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio) are the serious problems causing performance impairment. In this paper, PLL (phase locked loop) frequency synthesizer with high switching speed is used for the phase noise model. SSPA and TWTA are considered for the nonlinear HPA model. Under these conditions and by approximating $e^{j{\phi}[m]}$ into $1 + j{\phi}[m]-\frac{1}{2}{\phi}^2[m]$ for the phase noise nonlinear approximation, SINR (signal-to-interference-noise-ratio) with nonlinear HPA and phase noise is derived in the OFDM/FH system. The bit error probabilities (BER) are found by computer simulation method and semi-analytical method. The simulation results closely match with the semi-analytical results.

OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) signals sutler serious nonlinear distortion in the nonlinear HPA(High Power Amplifier) because of high PAPR(Peak Average Power Ratio). Nonlinear distortion can be improved by a pre-distorter, but this pre-distorter is insufficient when the PAPR is very high in an OPFDM system. In this paper, a DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) transform technique is introduced for PAPR reduction. It is especially important to consider the memory effect of HPA for more precise predistortion. Therefore, in this paper, we consider two models, the TWTA(Traveling-Wave Tube Amplifier) model of Saleh without a memory effect and the HPA memory polynomial model that has a memory effect. We design a pre-distorter and an adaptive pre-distorter that uses the NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Square) algorithm for the compensation of this nonlinear distortion. Without the consideration of a memory effect, the system performance would be degraded, even if the pre-distorter is used for the compensation of the nonlinear distortion. From the simulation results, we can confirm that the proposed system shows an improvement in performance.

High power amplifier (HPA), which is used in transmitter of wireless communication systems, usually works in near saturation point in order to achieve maximum efficiency. In this region, HPA can introduce undesirable nonlinear effects. In this paper, we present a polynomial modeling method for efficient techniques to compensate for nonlinear distortion introduced by nonlinear HPA. Proposed polynomial predistorter inverses actual amplifier. Namely, we derive polynomials of amplifiers from analytical method and the electrical parameters in the data sheet of an actual amplifier and then can derive polynomial predistorter by inversing them. It is an effective and a simple method to compensate nonlinear distortion. SSPA(Solid-state power amplifier) is considered. We also analyze the effects of predistortion on the SER performance of communication system with 16-QAM modulation format. The results have shown the efficiency of this model.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 시스템은 고속의 무선 데이터 전송이 가능한 기술이다. 하지만 OFDM과 같은 다중 반송파 시스템은 비선형 왜곡에 매우 민감하다. OFDM 시스템에서는 심볼들을 다중 반송파를 이용하여 변조 후 더하여 전송함으로써 전송 신호 진폭의 변화가 매우 심하다. 이러한 신호 진폭의 변화와 송신기 내에 사용되는 고출력 증폭기 (High Power Amplifier; HPA)의 비선형 특성으로 인해 심각한 비선형 왜곡을 겪게 된다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM 시스템의 높은 PAPR (Peak-to-Average Power Ratio)과 HPA에 의한 비선형 왜곡을 보상하기 위해 CPWL (Canonical Piecewise-Linear) 모델 기반의 새로운 디지털 사전왜곡기를 제안한다. 모의실험을 통하여 새로운 사전왜곡 기법의 성능을 TD (Total Degradation)와 비트오율 (Bit Error Ratio; BER) 측면에서 평가한 결과, HPA에 의해 발생하는 비선형 왜곡을 효과적으로 보상함으로써, 우수한 성능 향상이 있음을 확인하였다.

초고속 통신을 위해 HPA(High Power Amplifier)를 사용할 때, HPA의 비선형 특성은 전력 효율 및 BER(Bit Error Rate) 성능 및 스펙트럼 효율 등을 열화시키는 원인이 된다. 초고속 통신을 위한 충분한 송신 전력을 얻기 위해서는 HPA의 사용이 불가피하므로 사전왜곡기를 사용하여 HPA의 비선형성을 보상시켜줄 필요가 있다. 본 논문에서는 HPA의 비선형성을 보상해주기 위한 용도의 사전왜곡기를 HPA의 앞단에 사용하여 비선형 왜곡을 보상하여, 이를 성좌도, 스펙트럼, BER 성능 등으로 비교하여 분석하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 사전왜곡기를 사용하여 HPA의 비선형성을 보상해줌으로써 이상적인 선형 증폭기와 비슷한 수준의 BER 성능을 얻을 수 있었으며 스펙트럼 마스크도 충족하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper presents an efficient adaptive predistortion technique compensating linear and nonlinear distortions caused by high-power amplifier (HPA) with memory in OFDM systems. The efficient adaptive data predistortion techniques proposed for compensation of HPA with memory in single carrier systems cannot be applied to OFDM systems since the possible input levels for HPA is infinite in OFDM systems. Also, previous adaptive predistortion techniques, based on Volterra series modeling, are not suitable for real-time implementation due to high computational burden and slow convergence rate. In the proposed approach, the memoryless HPA preceded by a linear filter in OFDM systems is modeled by the Wiener system which is then precompensated by the proposed adaptive predistorter with a minimum number of filter taps. An adaptive algorithm for adjusting the proposed adaptive predistorter is derived using the stochastic gradient method. It is demonstrated by computer simulation that the performance of OFDM system suffering from nonlinear distortion can be greatly improved by the proposed efficient adaptive predistorter using a small number of filter taps.
