Abstract

In this paper, we present an adaptive predistortion technique for a regenerative satellite downlink with a 100 Mbits/s data rate. This link consists of an I/Q 16-QAM modulator followed by a solid state power amplifier (SSPA) on board the satellite. The memoryless amplifier gives two kinds of distortion: amplitude distortion (AM/AM conversion) and phase distortion (AM/PM conversion). Predistortion is realized with multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural networks (NN). We present a mixed analog/digital implementation of the algorithm. We analyze the implementation imperfection effects for comparison with the theoretical algorithm
