Abstract

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for linearizing a power amplifier using a digital signal process (DSP), and particularly, is a method and apparatus for effectively linearizing an amplifier which has a plurality of distortion generating sources. To this end, there is a plurality of compensation methods and compensation units which can generate inverse distortion signals corresponding to the distortion components outputted by the plurality of distortion generating sources, thereby making it possible to provide superior linearity.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for linearizing power amplifiers, and more particularly to methods and apparatus for efficiently linearizing power amplifiers having multiple sources of distortion generation. Background technique [0002] Recently, power amplifiers in mobile communication systems are required to amplify signals efficiently and with high linearity characteristics. Furthermore, next generation mobile communication systems utilize complex modulation schemes in order to transmit a large amount of data to users in a short time. [0003] Consequently, the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the signal increases. Typically, to provide linear amplification, the power amplifier operates at a back off point that is equal to or greater than the signal's peak-to-average power ratio. [0004] However, at this point, the power amplifier exhibits rather low efficiency characteristics. This is due to the fact that the heat v...
