The performance characteristic is the estimated TWTA nonlinearity from a difference between the coherently averaged ideal signal and received signal. <IMAGE>
The invention discloses a variable vector hybrid superimposed predistortionlinearization method suitable for improving the linearity of a microwavemillimeter wave solid-state power amplifier. According to the variable vector hybrid superimposed predistortionlinearization method, on the basis of the working mechanism of the traditional diode reflected predistortionlinearization, an effect of phase compression generated by gain expansion with the increase of the input power is realized by using the variable vector hybrid superimposing principle, good port standing wave is realized, and the purpose compensating the nonlinear distortion of the solid-state power amplifier within the microwavemillimeter wave broad band is realized. By adoption of the variable vector hybrid superimposed predistortion linearization method, the defect that the traditional reflected simulated predistortion technology can only generate phase expansion with the increase of the input power and is only applicable to linear traveling wave tube power amplifiers, breaks through the limitation of the reflected predistortion circuit bandwidth; and the variable vector hybrid superimposed predistortion linearization method has the advantages of novel structure, simple and compact structure, easy processing and assembly, and is suitable for popularization and application in the technical field of microwavemillimeter wave predistortion linearization.
Various embodiments provide for systems and methods for increased linear output power of a transmitter. An exemplary wirelesscommunications system for transmitting an input signal comprises a predistorter module, a GaN power amplifier, a coupler, and an antenna. The predistorter module is configured to detect existing distortion by comparing the input signal to a feedback signal and generate a correction signal. The predistorter may adaptively adjust its operation to minimize the existing distortion due to GaN power amplifier nonlinear characteristics. The result is that the GaN power amplifier may send a power signal of improved linearity to the antenna. The coupler is configured to sample the amplified signal from the GaN power amplifier to generate the feedback signal. The antenna is configured to transmit the amplified signal.
