This paper investigates the application of genetic algorithms to PA linearization using digital pre-distortion with narrowband feedback. An algorithm is presented that adapts a polynomial pre-distortion function to minimize adjacent channel emissions. The paper describes the implementation of this algorithm and compares its performance with a random search technique. Results show nearly optimal performance in a limited number of iterations, suggesting that this technique can be employed as a low-cost solution to meet ACLR requirements.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
