Single Feedback Predistortion Linearization Method for RF Power Amplifier

Based on memory polynomial model, this paper proposes a new RF power amplifier predistortion linearization method using single feedback, which only needs the in-phase or quadrature component of the quadrature demodulated IQ signal, and it also can acquire the model parameters of predistorter. This method can eliminate the gain and phase imbalance problems caused by quadrature demodulator, and one feedback sampling circuit is saved, which can reduce the costs, simplify the system design, as well as improve the predistortion linearization performance. Simulation and experiment results show the correctness of the proposed method, which can achieve satisfied linearization performance.
