Apparatus and method for digital predistortion initialization of high-power amplifiers
Abstract
An apparatus and method are provided for digital predistortion of an electrical signal to pre-compensate for nonlinear distortions in a nonlinear channel (e.g., a nonlinear channel including a high-power amplifier). The digital predistortion processor includes a nonlinear filter. Filter coefficients are determined using a modified input electrical signal having multiple simultaneous tones, using an iterative process which adapts the modified input electrical signal to reduce levels of intermodulation distortions in a modified output electrical signal.
