A Band-Limited Canonical Piecewise-Linear Function-Based Behavioral Model for Wideband Power Amplifiers
A band-limited canonical piecewise-linear function (CPWL)-based model is proposed for wideband power amplifiers (PAs). The model has a similar structure of the band-limited dynamic deviation reduction (DDR) Volterra series model but without high-order terms and long finite impulse response filters, which are replaced by CPWL. The model has lower complexity and more flexibility than the band-limited DDR Volterra series model and the model parameters can be estimated by the least-square method. Experimental results show that the proposed model nearly gives the same normalized mean square error and digital predistortion performance as the band-limited Volterra series when a wideband PA is excited by a 5-carrier long-term evolution advanced signal of 100-MHz bandwidth.
