面向5G功放线性化的可调模拟预失真器

    A Tunable Analog Predistorter for 5G Power Amplifier Linearization

    • 摘要: 随着第五代移动通信系统的发展,5G信号的大带宽、低延迟和复杂调制特性更加明显。为解决传统模拟预失真电路调节自由度不高,难以实现功放线性化性能的自适应调整,并且在大带宽条件下存在线性化效果不佳的问题,文中在四路合成式结构的基础上,采用肖特基二极管和场效应管作为非线性器件,增加了可调节偏压的同时引入高阶非线性分量,其中两条支路各引入微带延迟线,以更好地补偿功放的记忆效应。实验采用该模拟预失真器对中心频率为4.9 GHz的功率放大器进行线性化测试。测试结果表明,在带宽为100 MHz和200 MHz的5G NR信号下,预失真器对功放邻信道功率比改善约为7 dB~10 dB。

       

      Abstract: With the development of the fifth-generation mobile communication system, the characteristics of 5G signals such as large bandwidth, low latency, and complex modulation have become more prominent.To address the limitations of traditional analog predistortion circuits, including insufficient tuning flexibility, challenges in adaptively adjusting power amplifier linearization performance, and poor linearization efficacy under wide bandwidth conditions, this paper proposes a design based on a four-path composite structure.By employing Schottky diodes and field-effect transistors as nonlinear components, the circuit integrates tunable bias voltages and introduces higher-order nonlinear terms. Additionally, microstrip delay lines are incorporated into two of the branches to enhance compensation for the PA′s memory effects.The experiment utilized the analog predistorter to conduct linearization tests on a power amplifier centered at 4.9 GHz.Test results indicated that, for 5G NR signals with bandwidths of 100 MHz and 200 MHz, the predistorter improved the adjacent channel power ratio of the power amplifier by approximately 7 dB~10 dB.
