This paper describes the design and implementation of a memoryless digital predistortion (DPD) system for the linearization of power amplifiers. The system prototype predistorter requirements and architecture are implemented over a DSP-FPGA development kit. The design methodology is described in practical blocks and analyzed in detail with special emphasis in the digital domain, where the algor...

In the present article an attempt is made to compare multi-carrier and single carrier modulation schemes for wireless communication systems with the utilization of fast Fourier transform (FFT) and its inverse in both cases. With the assumption that in OFDM (orthogonal frequency division multiplexing), the inverse FFT transforms the complex amplitudes of the individual sub-carriers at the transm...

Power-amplifier efficiency is a significant issue for the overall efficiency of most wireless system. Therefore, currently there are different kind of Switched mode power amplifiers are developed which are showing very high efficiency also at higher frequencies but all of these amplifiers are subjected to drive with the constant envelope signals. Whereas, for the increasing demand of high data ...

This paper proposes a filtering matching network optimization design method using the fragment-type structure for continuous inverse class-F (CCF-1) power amplifier (PA). Different from conventional microstrip structure, is used to increase flexibility of sharp roll-off at second harmonic band. By multi-objective evolutionary algorithm, output (OMN) with fast transition between passband and sto...

Efficiency of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system is improved by reducing the power consumed by its transmitter and also by improving the spectral efficiency. Power usage is reduced by reducing the PAPR of OFDM system and spectral efficiency is improved by Adaptive modulation and coding schemes (AMC). In OFDM system, transmission signals can have high peak values in the tim...

This paper describes the design and measured performance of a 1-8GHz power amplifier MMIC fabricated with a 0.15um Gallium Nitride (GaN) process technology. The process features a 100um thick Silicon Carbide (SiC) substrate and compact transistor layouts with individual source grounding vias (ISV). The design utilizes a non-uniform distributed power amplifier (NDPA) topology with a novel trifil...
