  • Abstract
    A digital predistortion algorithm for radio frequency power amplifiers based on orthonormal basis functions is presented. It has the same general properties as a Volterra model, but fewer parameters. Experimentally, using a 3.84 MHz wide signal at 2.14 GHz, the adjacent channel power was suppressed 12 to 15 dB, which was 5 to 7 dB more than a polynomial predistorter.
