摘要: This paper proposes a combination technique of the frequency-domain random demodulation (FRD) and the broadband digital predistorter (DPD). This technique can linearize the power amplifiers (PAs) at a low sampling rate in the feedback loop. Based on the theory of compressed sensing (CS), the FRD method preprocesses the original signal using the frequency domain sampling signal with different stages through multiple parallel channels. Then the FRD method is applied to the broadband DPD system to restrict the sampling process in the feedback loop. The proposed technique is assessed using a 30 W Class-F wideband PA driven by a 20 MHz orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signal, and a 40 W GaN Doherty PA driven by a 40 MHz 4-carrier long-term evolution (LTE) signal. The simulation and experimental results show that good linearization performance can be achieved at a lower sampling rate with about 24 dBc adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) improvement by applying the proposed combination technique FRD-DPD. Furthermore, the performance of normalized mean square error (NMSE) and error vector magnitude (EVM) also has been much improved compared with the conventional technique.
