Abstract

We have rigorously analysed and developed a novel adaptive predistorter cum cross-correlator to linearize the distortions due to a power amplifier for multi-carrier (MC) digitally modulated signals. The cross-correlator extracts the in-band and out-band intermodulation distortions which are exploited by the predistorter for linearization. Improvements in carrier/intermodulation (C/I), noise-power-ratio (NPR) and time domain are reported.
