The pre-distortion techniques based on traditional direct learning architecture (DLA) are commonly used to linearize high power amplifiers (HPAs) settled in ground-station or on board satellite merely, which cannot achieve a satisfying linearization. In this paper, an improved DLA, considering the satellite channel features with two HPAs in the loop, is put forward. Nonlinear polynomial with 7 order and 4 memory depth is utilized as pre-distorter and recursive least square (RLS) algorithm is adopted for its parameters updating. Simulation results show that with pre-distortion the power spectrum density (PSD) of 16APSK signal achieves about 7.2dB improvement, the EVM of signal constellation is greatly improved up to 61.83%, and desirable system linearization performance is acquired.
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.
