Design of a memory polynomial predistorter for wideband envelope tracking amplifiers

Efficiency and linearity of the microwave power amplifier are critical elements for mobile communication systems. A memory polynomial baseband predistorter based on an indirect learning architecture is presented for improving the linearity of an envelope tracing (ET) amplifier with application to a wireless transmitter. To deal with large peak-to-average ratio (PAR) problem, a clipping procedure for the input signal is employed. Then the system performance is verified by simulation results. For a single carrier wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) signal of 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM), about 2% improvement of the error vector magnitude (EVM) is achieved at an average output power of 45.5 dBm and gain of 10.6 dB, with adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) of -64.55 dBc at offset frequency of 5 MHz. Moreover, a three-carrier WCDMA signal and a third-generation (3G) long term evolution (LTE) signal are used as test signals to demonstrate the performance of the proposed linearization scheme under different bandwidth signals.

Blind CFO estimation algorithm for OFDM systems by using generalized precoding and trilinear model

This paper discusses the blind carrier frequency offset (CFO) estimation for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems by utilizing trilinear decomposition and generalized precoding.

Resource allocation with minimum transmit power in multicast OFDM systems

To minimize the total transmit power for multicast service in an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) downlink system, resource allocation algorithms that adaptively allocate subcarriers and bits are proposed. The proposed algorithms select users with good channel conditions for each subcarrier to reduce the transmit power, while guaranteeing each user’s instantaneous minimum rate requirement. The resource allocation problem is first formulated as an integer programming (IP) problem, and then, a full search algorithm that achieves an optimal solution is presented. To reduce the computation load, a suboptimal algorithm is proposed. This suboptimal algorithm decouples the joint resource allocation problem by separating subcarrier and bit allocation. Greedy-like algorithms are employed in both procedures. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed algorithms can significantly reduce the transmit power compared with the conventional multicast approach and the performance of the suboptimal algorithm is close to the optimum.

Joint frequency offset tracking and PAPR reduction algorithm in OFDM systems

This paper presents an algorithm that aims to reduce the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) communication systems while maintaining frequency tracking. The algorithm achieves PAPR reduction by applying the complex conjugates of the data symbol obtained from the frequency domain to cancel the phase of the data symbol. A likelihood estimator is used to obtain the sub-carrier phase error due to the residual carrier frequency offset (RCFO) using the same complex conjugates as a pilot signal. Furthermore, a joint time and frequency domain multicarrier phase locked loop (MPLL) is developed to compensate additional frequency offset. Simulation results show that this algorithm is capable of reducing PAPR without impacting the frequency tracking performance.
