Digital predistortion of power amplifiers using look-up table method with memory effects for LTE wireless systems

Digital predistortion (DPD) techniques are widely used to linearize of RF power amplifiers. In this article, a memory polynomial-based power has been modeled with memory order of 5 and nonlinearity order of 9. These specifications had been found suitable for advanced long-term evolution (LTE) wireless systems. A suitable DPD model was created based on the least square error minimization. Results for the complementary cumulative distribution function and normalized mean squared error were also computed. The adjacent channel leakage power ratio and error vector magnitude calculations showed that the proposed DPD for LTE system performed within the required limits as desired.
