摘要: 射频功率放大器与生俱来的非线性是无线通信前端设计需要解决的核心问题之一。根据广义改进型Hammerstein功率放大器非线性模型,提出一种应用于射频功放线性化的新型数字预失真器——广义改进型Hammerstein(Generalized Augmented Hammerstein, GAH)预失真器,并给出了该预失真器的实现方法。另外,为了精确分析GAH 预失真器的性能,采用实际功放的输入输出数据进行仿真和实验。被测功放为中心频率1960 MHz,带宽40 MHz, 输出功率45 dBm的Doherty功放。仿真和实验证明:提出的数字预失真器不仅计算复杂度远低于记忆多项式(Memory Polynomial,MP)和分数阶记忆多项式(Fractional Memory Polynomial, FMP)预失真器,而且其线性化能力也强于AH、MP及FMP等预失真器。Abstract: The inherent nonlinearity of radio frequency power amplifiers ( RF PAs) is one of the key problems of the wireless communication system front-end designing. This paper proposes a digital predistorter according to the GAH nonlinear model for radio frequency power amplifiers. And the implementation method is given in this paper. Moreover, in order to analyze the performances of the GAH predistorter accurately, the actual input and output data of the RF PA is employed for the simulation and experiments. The RF PA under the test is a Doherty RF PA operating at 1960 MHz with 40 MHz bandwidth and 45 dBm power out. The simulation and experiment results show that the linearization capability of the proposed digital predistorter is stronger than the AH, memory polynomial and fractional memory polynomial predistorters with much less computational complexity.
