This thesis is regarding of fabricating wibro PAM. First of all, we need to set specification based on link budget for wibro communication circumstance in order to develop PAM, then we decided specification concerning of wibro PAM by considering TTAS_Ko_06_0082R1 which is standarded in Korea, and IEEE Std. 802. 16d/e which is international standard. We selected the Doherty structure to increase efficiency, and pre-distorter structure to increase linearity. The fabricated PAM has not only a result of $26.5dB{\pm}1.0dB$ gain characteristics and maximum of -14 dB return loss characteristics in full frequency bands and full output ranges, but also a result of 37 dBc at 4 tone IMD characteristics which is improved result of 843 and a result of 31 dBc spurious characteristics which is improved result of 5 dB at 4.77 MHz offset point in status of having 27 % efficiency in the 26 dBm high power amplifier output signal. We confirmed the suggested structure is better than others by comparing with normal structure, balanced structure and Doherty structure without predistorter.

In this paper, we design a SSD(simultaneous single band duplex) system using RF cancellation and digital cancellation. And then, we analyze performance of the SSD system using pre-distorter with HPA non-linearity. Also, we analyze digital cancellation performance of the SSD system using pre-distorter with HPA non-linearity. Additionally, digital cancellation cancels residual self-interference. In linear conditions, digital cancellation can cancel self-interference of 40dB. Therefore, the SSD system has good BER performance because most of self-interference is canceled. But, in HPA non-linearity conditions, digital cancellation cancels residual self-interference of 25dB. In this conditions, self-interference is greater than desired signal. Therefore, bit informations of distant station can not be received. But, we confirm that if the proposed system uses pre-distorter then bit information of distant station can be received by HPA non-linearity compensation. Also, we confirm that even though the proposed system uses pre-distorter, if HPA non-linearity increases then digital cancellation performance is degraded by imperfect compensation of HPA non-linerity.

무선 통신 시스템에서 장거리 신호송출을 위해 사용하고 있는 고전력 증폭기(HPA, High Power Amplifier)는 증폭기의 비선형성 때문에 송출신호에 왜곡을 야기시키며 이 때문에 선형구간만을 사용하게 되어 그 전력 효율이 떨어지게 된다. 이 비선형 특성을 해결하기 위하여 디지털 사전 왜곡기(DPD, Digital Pre-distorter)를 HPA 의 앞단에 채용하여 송출신호를 선형화 시키고 효율도 높이게 된다. 이 DPD는 대부분 HPA를 특정 모델이라고 가정하고 최적화 알고리즘을 통해 설계되는데 HPA의 모델에 대한 가정이 맞지 않을 경우 설계된 DPD의 성능이 떨어질 수 있다. 따라서 HPA의 모델을 정확하게 아는 것은 DPD 설계에 있어서 중요한 이슈가 된다. 본 논문에서는 실제 상용되는 HPA에 대해 이미 알려진 다양한 HPA의 모델 중에서 가장 적합한 모델을 선정하고 또한 그 모델의 계수를 얻어내는 방법을 소개한다. 이렇게 얻어진 HPA의 모델정보는 최적의 DPD 설계에 사용될 수 있다. 각 HPA 모델에 대한 파라메터를 구함에 있어서 알려진 최적화 방법 이외에 직접 적용이 어려운 경우에는 기존 방식을 수정하고 그 방식을 사용하였다. 실제 HPA 의 입출력 신호를 실시간 수집하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 수행하여 동일한 HPA 입력 신호에 대해 실제 HPA의 출력과 찾아낸 최적 모델의 출력을 비교 분석함으로써 실제 찾아낸 모델이 가장 정확하게 상용 HPA를 모델링 하고 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we have studied narrow-band analog pre-distortion linearization technique using UHF 400 MHz band 20 W power amplifier. The analog pre-distorter used the SC1894 radio frequency power amplifier linearizer(RFPAL) provided by MAXIM Corp and through the look-up table technique confirmed the intermodulation distortion(IMD) performance and the adjusted channel leakage ratio(ACLR) improvement for bandwidth below 1 MHz which does not operate on existing chips. In the 400 MHz (400 ~ 500 MHz) band, IMD performance and the ACLR improvement of up to 17.46 dB based on 1-channel offset and up to 16.6 dB based on 2-channel offset were confirmed. In the system requiring the same linearity, we confirmed power efficiency improvement of 12.41% at output power of over 40 W.

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.

We propose a method for driving loudspeakers from class D audio power amplifiers in current mode, instead of in conventional voltage mode, which was impossible with the feedback circuitry. Unlike analog audio amplifiers, Class D audio power amplifiers have signal delay between the input and output signals, which makes it difficult to apply the feedback circuitry for current-mode driving. The idea of the pre-distortion scheme used for the compensation of the non-linearity of RF power amplifiers is adapted to remedy the impedance variation effect of the loudspeakers for current driving. The method uses the speaker model for the pre-distorter to compensate for the speaker impedance variation with frequency. The simulation and test results confirms the validity of the proposed method.

일반적인 통신 시스템에서 높은 전력을 가지는 출력 신호를 얻기 위하여 고전력증폭기(HPA)의 사용은 필수적이다. 그러나 HPA를 통과한 신호는 AM/AM 및 AM/PM의 비선형왜곡이 발생하는 단점을 가지고 있다. 그 결과 송신신호의 대역내 신호 스펙트럼이 왜곡되고 신호의 대역폭을 확장시켜 인접채널에 간섭을 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 HPA의 비선형 왜곡 특성을 보상하기 위하여 기저대역에서 룩업테이블(LUT)을 이용한 전치왜곡기의 동작 알고리듬을 제안한다. 먼저, LUT의 빠른 초기화를 위하여 송신신호로부터 HPA의 특성을 예측하여LUT를 초기화 시키는 알고리듬을 제안한다. 그리고 통신중에 HPA의 특성이 변화할 경우에 대비하여 평균자승오차를 최소화하는 적응알고리듬을 제안한다.
