Abstract:The rapid development of modern information and communication technology makes it difficult for single digital predistortion techniques or peak-to-average power ratio suppression methods to maximize the reduction of signal nonlinear distortion and improve the transmitter efficiency. By studying the joint algorithm of digital predistortion and crest factor reduction, the power amplifier modeling of the predistortion system and the signal processing method of the clipping system are optimized, further enhancing the power amplifier's operational efficiency. More memory effect characteristics are introduced into the power amplifier behavioral model. Simulation results show that the normalized mean square error decreases by 19.87 dB. The input signal is processed using threshold decomposition technology, and the peak-to-average power ratio suppression effect of the clipping method is tested. Experimental results show that the left-side ACPR value decreases by 19.72 dBc and the right-side ACPR value decreases by 17.46 dBc, and the PAPR is reduced by 2.54 dB. These results meet the requirements for accurately describing the signal's memory effect and reduce both the nonlinear distortion of the power amplifier and the PAPR.
