Abstract-This paper deals with iterative linearization of a nonlinear dynamical system. The methods proposed are suited for digital pre-distortion of power amplifiers working close to saturation, as it is common for efficiency reasons. Two methods (a well known successive approximation method based on a fixed-point formulation and a Newton method) are compared with respect to convergence speed, robustness against model uncertainties, and complexity. The presented methods are used to linearize a Volterra model of a measured power amplifier.
