Linearization method and the device of the power amplifier which uses predistortion inside the frequency domain

摘要

To mitigate the effects of non-linear amplification in a digital transmission system employing a multi-carrier multiplexing communications technique, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing or discrete multi-tone, predistortion of an input signal to a power amplifier with a non-linear transfer characteristic is performed in the frequency domain by modifying frequency-domain symbols used to modulate individual sub-carriers. The frequency-domain symbols are modified in a manner that compensates for the amplifier's non-linear transfer characteristic.
