A mathematical model for the input-output characteristic of an amplifier exhibiting gain expansion and weak and strong nonlinearities is presented. The model, basically a Fourier-series function, can yield closed-form series expressions for the amplitudes of the output components resulting from multisinusoidal input signals to the amplifier. The special case of an equal-amplitude two-tone input signal is considered in detail. The results show that unless the input signal can drive the amplifier into its nonlinear region, no gain expansion or minimum intermodulation performance can be achieved. For sufficiently large input amplitudes that can drive the amplifier into its nonlinear region, gain expansion and minimum intermodulation performance can be achieved. The input amplitudes at which these phenomena are observed are strongly dependent on the amplifier characteristics.

A new approach to designing a broadband and highly efficient class-E power amplifier based on nonlinear shunt capacitance analysis is proposed. The nonlinear shunt capacitance method accurately extracts optimum class-E power amplifier parameters, including an external shunt capacitance and an output impedance, at different frequencies. The dependence of the former parameter on the frequency is considered to select an optimal value of external shunt capacitor. Then, upon determining the latter parameter, an output matching network is optimized to obtain the highest efficiency across the bandwidth of interest. An analytical approach is presented to design the broadband class-E power amplifier of a MOSFET transistor. The proposed method is experimentally verified by a 140-170 MHz class-E power amplifier design with maximum added power efficiency of 82% and output power of 34 dBm.

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.

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.

In this paper, the linearized power amplifier using digital adaptive predistorter is implemented in order to restrict spectral spreading and adjacent channel interference. The linearized systems is composed of a DSP56001 processor that executes predistortion in baseband. 90.deg. phase shifter, power splitter/combiner, quadrature modulator/demodulator of 360MHz band, and nonlinear amplifier. A ${\pi}$/4-shift QPSK is used to modulate digital random signals. As the quantized power of baseband signal and the output of amplifier are fed to the predistorter, and predistorting values are calculated using an adaptive algorithm. In the experiment, a peak to sidelobe ratio of the linearized amplifier is improved up to 15dB in comparison with conventional nonlinear amplifier, which means that the distortion of transmitted signal is decreased and adjacent channel interference was reduced.

A class D digital audio amplifier with small size, low cost, and high quality is positively necessary in the multimedia era made of home theater system and the digital audio broadcasting (DAB). It is impossible to analyze the stability of the digital audio amplifier, which is based on the PWM signal processing. To solve this problem, the digital audio amplifier is analyzed using variable structure control theory which is one of nonlinear system theories. Moreover, the magnitude and the frequency of ripple signal, which generated by hysteresis in the comparator, is obtained using describing function which is useful to represent the input-output relation of nonlinear system.
