Improvement of memory effects and ACPR of power amplifiers in CDMA cellular mobile and OFDM WLAN transmitters

In this article, improvement of the memory effects and adjacent channel interference introduced by the nonlinearity of the power amplifier in the both Code division multiple access (CDMA) and Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based (OFDM) transmitters is evaluated through Feedforward linearization method. For CDMA system, more than 17.27 dB increasing in OIP3 is and at least 25 dB improvement in adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) is obtained. For OFDM system, achieved improvement through Feedforward linearization method is at least 39.03 dB in third output intercept point (OIP3), more than 26.6 dB in ACPR and 5.44 dB in peak-toaverage ratio. It is observed that the designed Feedforward circuit can efficiently improve the nonlinearity caused by memory effects and saturation of the power amplifiers of CDMA cellular mobile telephony and OFDM wireless local area network (WLAN) transmitters.

Abstract

In this article, improvement of the memory effects and adjacent channel interference introduced by the nonlinearity of the power amplifier in the both Code division multiple access (CDMA) and Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based (OFDM) transmitters is evaluated through Feedforward linearization method. For CDMA system, more than 17.27 dB increasing in OIP3 is and at least 25 dB improvement in adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) is obtained. For OFDM system, achieved improvement through Feedforward linearization method is at least 39.03 dB in third output intercept point (OIP3), more than 26.6 dB in ACPR and 5.44 dB in peak-toaverage ratio. It is observed that the designed Feedforward circuit can efficiently improve the nonlinearity caused by memory effects and saturation of the power amplifiers of CDMA cellular mobile telephony and OFDM wireless local area network (WLAN) transmitters.
