基于功放效率的OFDM信号幅度的最佳分布——峰均比抑制

星座图扩展（ACE）技术可以无损地降低OFDM信号的峰均比,本文的论述指出仅追求低峰均比对应的功放效率和效能并不是最好.笔者提出了OFDM信号的最佳互补累积分布函数（OCCDF）峰均比抑制方法,即考虑OFDM信号的幅度分布及出现概率,整体地评估其对放大器失真的影响,以OFDM信号放大器的效率为评估峰均比优劣的标准,在算法上以限定MER条件下得到尽可能低的功放输入功率回退（IBO）为迭代收敛目标,预见了应该存在最高功放效率意义匹配的所谓OFDM信号的最佳幅度分布.实验证实：相比原始OFDM系统,在放大基于OCCDF准则优化后的OFDM信号时,放大器获得了3.15dB的IBO性能改善,对比同等条件下单载波系统仅差0.05dB.     

Small-signal power transient modelling and regulation in Raman amplified optical fibre links

A Raman amplifier is a type of optical amplifier that finds application in long-haul wavelength division multiplexed optical communications systems. Despite the potentially complicated nonlinear and distributed nature of the optical power dynamics that can arise in Raman amplified optical fibre links, it is shown that a number of simple modelling approaches point towards the applicability of low-order models that can satisfactorily capture the small-signal dynamics of such links in the neighbourhood of fixed set-points. Based on this observation, a simple modelling and linear control design procedure is presented with the objective of synthesising finite-dimensional feedback controllers that can achieve small-signal power transient regulation across a range of optical signal wavelengths. The application of this procedure is shown to yield satisfactory closed-loop performance and robustness in a specific simulation example.

Highly efficient switched‐mode transmitter using a current mode class‐D RF amplifier

This article presents a switched‐mode transmitter architecture using a current mode class‐D (CMCD) amplifier. To achieve high average efficiency for a modulated signal the envelope of the complex baseband signal is transformed into pulses such that the CMCD amplifier is operated either at its peak efficiency or completely switched off. The CMCD amplifier has been designed based on single‐tone active harmonic load‐pull measurements to achieve a power‐added efficiency (PAE) of 61.5% with 25 W output power at 900 MHz using LDMOS FETs. Removing the losses of the demodulation filter and of the amplifier a 10% higher efficiency than in an ideal class‐B amplifier can be obtained for burst‐mode operation with a peak‐to‐average power ratio of 10 dB. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Behavioral modeling of power amplifiers for wireless applications

In this paper, an improved empirical behavioral model for radio‐frequency power amplifiers (RF‐PAs) is presented. The model was implemented in a commercial nonlinear microwave simulator. It belongs to the category of bandpass PA models, which exhibits memory effects due to the low frequency dependence of bias and temperature. Additionally, it facilitates accurate and efficient system level simulations of RF‐PA large‐signal behaviors such as self‐bias, AM‐AM, AM‐PM, gain expansion effects, and intermodulation distortion (IMD) sweet‐spots. The model was validated using measurement data obtained from a commercial CDMA PA at 1.88 GHz. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE, 2007.     

Dynamic deviation reduction‐based concurrent dual‐band digital predistortion

This article introduces the concurrent dual‐band digital predistortion (DPD) architecture with only one upconvertion unit, which is suitable for the linearization of wideband power amplifiers (PAs) excited by concurrent dual‐band signals. By extending the conventional dynamic deviation reduction (DDR) model to the concurrent dual‐band mode, we propose two DDR‐based concurrent dual‐band models, the dual‐band DDR (DB‐DDR) model and the simplified dual‐band DDR (SDB‐DDR) model. The performance of these two models is experimentally assessed with two types of wideband PAs (a GaN Class F PA and a GaN Doherty PA) driven by the concurrent dual‐band signal, and compared with the prior two‐dimensional digital predistortion (2D‐DPD) model and the two‐dimensional modified memory polynomial (2D‐MMP) model. The results prove the good DPD performance and low computational complexity of the proposed models. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 24:401–411, 2014.     

Adaptive predistortion using threshold decomposition‐based piecewise linear modeling

A new adaptive predistortion approach for nonlinear power amplifiers based on the piecewise linear (PWL) approximation of nonlinear functions is presented. The PWL model is obtained using threshold decomposition (TD) of the input‐output characteristics. The TD based PWL model is used to develop a baseband predistorter using both the direct and the indirect learning architectures. The proposed predistorter is proved to provide a better performance in suppressing nonlinear distortion than conventional polynomial predistorters and a reduced hardware complexity as compared to lookup table (LUT) approach. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
