Nevertheless, in wideband communication systems, PA memory effects can no longer be ignored and memoryless predistortion cannot linearize PAs effectively. After analyzing PA memory effects, a novel predistortion method based on wavelet networks (WNs) is proposed to linearize wideband RF power amplifiers. A complex wavelet network with tapped delay lines is applied to construct the predistorter and then a complex backpropagation algorithm is developed to train the predistorter parameters. The simulation results show that compared with the previously published feed-forward neural network predistortion method, the proposed method provides faster convergence rate and better performance in reducing out-of-band spectral regrowth.展开更多

Two different power constraints are studied. Besides the usual sum power constraint over all antennas, the per-antenna power constraint is imposed at transmitter in this paper. Since each antenna has its own amplifier, individual power constraint on each antenna is more realistic. Especially in MIMO-OFDM systems, the Peak-to-Average Ratio (PAR) is one of main practical problems. Simulations show that the proposed schemes have better performance than traditional normalized zero forcing schemes for imperfectly known correlated channel. Moreover, per-antenna power constraint can efficiently decrease the demand of dynamic range of power amplifier on each transmit antenna, especially in MIMO-OFDM systems.展开更多
