RF Power Amplifier Precorrection System

General Description

Digital Precorrection (Predistortion) system used to compensate for the non-linearity of an RF power amplifier. Compensates for both Gain and Phase. The design may be used in open-loop configuration or in closed-loop configuration as part of an adaptive precorrection system. Complex LUT stores the inverse (AM-AM) and (AM-PM) characteristics of the Amplifier. Optional choice of programming interfaces (I2C, SPI or UART) may be provided as an extra.

Key Design Features

- Corrects the PA Gain and Phase responses
- 16-bit signed (I/Q) inputs and outputs
- 256x32-bit LUT to store inverse PA characteristic
- LUT initialized at compile time or modified in-circuit
- Suitable for open or closed-loop operation
- Operation at Baseband or IF frequencies
- Typical improvements of up to 20 dBs in the 'shoulders'
- Pipeline latency of only 8 clock cycles
- FPGA sample rates of 200 MHz+

Applications

- Linearization for Mobile base-stations
- Linearization for Digital-TV Broadcasting
- Precorrection of any type of digitally modulated
  signal where the signal envelope varies and
  therefore the instantaneous input power
  e.g. UMTS, WCDMA, OFDM etc.
