A Novel Wideband Active Feedback Amplifier Linearization Scheme Suitable for Handsets

چکیده
A new active feedback network is proposed for reducing intermodulation distortion (IMD). It is based on using the existing second harmonic zone (SHZ) distortion energy generated by the amplifier to predistort the input signals optimally to obtain a linear output. The technique is analyzed theoretically and practical results demonstrate the linearization performance. The measured two-tone test showed 23-dB reduction in the third-order intermodulation products (IMP3), where π/4 DQPSK and W-CDMA gave up to 15-dB and 13-dB adjacent channel interference (ACI) suppression respectively. This technique differs from available active feedback techniques by performing both with narrow and wideband modulated signals. The linearization circuitry is simple and small in size.

Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
