Abstract

The power amplifier （PA） is one of the indispensable components in radio frequency （RF） communication systems. However， its nonlinear distortion characteristics and memory effect can easily affect the quality of the transmitted signal. In addition， with the popularization and application of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and high-order modulation technology， the high peak-to-average ratio characteristics of signals have higher requirements for the linearity of power amplifiers. Considering that the digital predistortion technology or PAPR reduction technology cannot be only used to maximize the energy efficiency of transmitter， This paper focuses on studying the existing PAPR compression and digital predistortion joint scheme. Then a peak cancellation-crest factor reduction-digital predistortion （PC-CFR-DPD） joint scheme is proposed based on it. The PC-CFR-DPD scheme applies the peak cancellation （PC） technology to the joint structures， and reduces the signal PAPR by generating time-domain cancellation pulses and signal peak point cancellation that are the same as the signal spectrum， greatly reducing the nonlinear distortion caused by direct peak clipping on the signal. The linearization performance of the system is improved without increasing its implementation complexity. The research results has certain reference value for the research and application of digital predistortion technology under high peak-to-average ratio signal conditions.

Key words： digital predistortion; power amplifier; linearization; peak-to-average ratio compression
