Embodiment Construction

[0018] In order to facilitate the understanding of those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0019] The nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier includes amplitude-amplitude distortion (AM-AM) and amplitude-phase distortion (AM-PM), where AM-AM conversion is equivalent to adding an amplitude modulation signal to an ideal amplifier, which mainly affects the power amplifier. Intermodulation index; while AM-PM conversion is equivalent to adding a phase modulation signal to an ideal power amplifier, which mainly affects the spectrum regeneration index of the power amplifier adjacent channel, power leakage ratio (ACPR). like figure 1 is the amplitude-amplitude distortion characteristic of the power amplifier. It can be seen from the figure that as the input signal Pin increases, the gain Gain of the power amplifier will be compressed to a certain extent; figure 2 It...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radio frequency power amplifiers, in particular to a circuit for improving the linearity of power amplifiers by using analog predistortion technology. Background technique [0002] With the development of wireless communication technology, various linearization techniques for RF power amplifiers are further studied and applied. In particular, the development of technologies such as narrowband CDMA and third-generation mobile communications have put forward higher requirements on the linearity of power amplifiers. In wireless communication systems such as W-CDMA, if a general high-power amplifier is used, due to the intermodulation distortion of the power amplifier, there will be a spectrum regeneration effect, which will interfere with adjacent channels and even cause bit errors. Therefore, the linearization technology of power amplifiers has attracted more and more attention. Currently, three commonly ...
