Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of digital predistortion of a multi-band power amplifier, in particular to a digital predistortion device and a digital predistortion method of a dual-band power amplifier based on a piecewise linear function.
Background
In recent years, mobile communication technology has been rapidly developed, and fifth-generation mobile communication (5G) is coming. In the 5G era, a communication system supporting multiple standards and multiple frequency bands simultaneously is one of the hot spots of research. A power amplifier is the most important component of a communication system, and research on a power amplifier supporting a dual band or a multiband is one of important issues in the field of communication technology. In 5G, power amplifiers also face power efficiency issues due to data transmission rate requirements up to the order of Gbps. In order to improve the transmission efficiency of the power amplifier, the power amplifier needs to operate in a saturation region. However, the efficiency and linearity of conventional power amplifiers are contradictory, and a power amplifier operating in the saturation region may generate severe nonlinear distortion, which is expressed as in-band distortion, out-of-band spectral leakage, and memory effect. For dual or multi-band power amplifiers, this non-linearity also manifests as intermodulation distortion in the different bands. In modern communication systems, digital predistortion techniques are often employed to resolve the conflict between the efficiency and linearity of the power amplifier.
An efficient digital predistortion scheme requires a suitable power amplifier model. Most of the existing power amplifier models adopt Volterra series with memory. For a dual-band or multi-band power amplifier, because of intermodulation distortion of different frequency bands, an original single-band power amplifier model needs to be improved, and a cross term capable of describing the intermodulation distortion is introduced to accurately describe the behavior of the power amplifier. The existing dual-band power amplifier model is mostly based on a simplified Volterra polynomial-Memory Polynomial (MP), and the model has reliable modeling precision and can improve adjacent channel power leakage of each frequency band of the dual-band power amplifier. However, when the model describes the intermodulation distortion, a high-order power term is introduced, and the computational complexity of the model is increased, so that the model occupies a large amount of computational resources when being implemented on an FPGA. Therefore, how to simplify the existing dual-band power amplifier model is an important matter of current research.

Looking at table 1, it can be seen that greater than 12dB of ACPR improvement can be achieved when modeling the dual band power amplifier using the present model. This effect is similar to the conventional 2D-DPD model, but for the 2D-DPD model used in the current dual-frequency predistortion:
there is a great difference in performance from the model in this patent. Firstly, in terms of the number of parameters: when a 2D-DPD model is selected for modeling, when the memory depth is selected to be M, the nonlinear order of the model is K, and the number of model parameters at the moment is (M +1) × (K +1) × (K + 2); when the dual-frequency power amplifier model based on the piecewise linear function is selected, the memory depth M and the threshold number K are selected, and the number of the parameters of the model at the moment is (M +1) multiplied by K. The complexity of the two models is O (n), respectively3) And O (n)2) (ii) a Secondly, on the realization difficulty of the model: . For the 2D-DPD model, a high-order power item exists, and a large amount of multiplier resources are consumed when FPGA is realized; and the high-order power term in the piecewise linear function model is replaced by absolute value operation, so that the method is easier to realize and saves computing resources.
