Power Amplifier and Digital Pre-Distortion Design with MATLAB
Overview
In this webinar, you will learn about digital predistortion (DPD) in modern terrestrial and satellite communications systems. We start by showing how to characterize the response of a power amplifier (PA) according to its nonlinearity order and its memory depth. We then show how you can design DPD systems using a variety of techniques. These techniques include a nonlinear memory polynomial, a neural network that has been trained offline, and a neural network with online training. Learn how the AI-based DPD achieves better adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) performance than the traditional memory polynomial DPD.
Highlights
- Characterizing a PA with an NI Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) that transmits and receives a MATLAB-generated stimulus signal that has been passed through the PA.
- Designing a DPD based on a memory polynomial that can significantly reduce ACPR.
- Designing and simulating a neural network DPD that can outperform the ACPR reduction of the memory polynomial DPD.
- Developing a neural network DPD that periodically trains while in operation, thus compensating for temperature-based changes in PA behavior.
