The super-resolution near-field structure (super-RENS) disc system is the most promising one for next-generation optical data storage systems to succeed the Blu-ray disc (BD). In this paper, we apply the simplicial canonical piecewise-linear (SCPWL) model to modeling super-RENS read-out signals since reliable and accurate channel modeling is essential for performance analysis and development of equalizers for super-RENS systems. The validity of this model is verified using radio frequency (RF) signal samples obtained from a super-RENS disc, The experiment results on modeling indicate that the SCPWL model can be efficiently utilized for the nonlinear modeling of the super-RENS systems.

An orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) system is a special case of multicarrier transmission, where a single data stream is transmitted over a number of lower-rate subcarriers. One of the main reasons to use OFDM is to increase robustness against frequency-selective fading or narrowband interference. However, in the radio systems the distortion introduced by high power amplifiers (HPA's) such as traveling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) considered in this paper, is also critical. Since the signal amplitude of the OFDM system is Rayleigh-distributed, the performance of the OFDM system is significantly degraded by the nonlinearity of the HPA in the OFDM transmitter. In this paper, we propose a simplicial canonical piecewise-linear (SCPWL) model based digital predistorter to compensate for nonlinear distortion introduced by an HPA in an OFDM system. Computer simulation is carried on an OFDM system under additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels with 16-QAM and 64-QAM modulation schemes and modulator/demodulator implemented with 1024-point FFT/IFFT. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant performance improvement by effectively compensating for the nonlinearity introduced by the HPA.
