Abstract

A new adaptive technique for digital predistortion is presented. The proposed method uses the real-time digital processing of baseband signals to compensate the nonlinearities and memory effects in radio-frequency power amplifier. Kalman filtering algorithm with sliding time-window is adapted to track the changes in the PA characteristics. Simulation and measurement results, using digital signal processing, are presented for multicarrier signals to demonstrate the effectiveness of this new approach.
