Influence of nonlinear HPA on trellis-Coded OFDM for terrestrial broadcasting of digital HDTV

Abstract: This paper investigates a system proposal for transmitting digital high-definition television (HDTV) signals over terrestrial UHF channels. We compare uncoded 16-QAM and trellis-coded 32-CROSS modulation in conjunction with an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) procedure. Our simulations show the influence of the nonlinear distortions introduced by the high-power amplifier (HPA) of the transmitter. As HPA we consider a travelling wave tube amplifier (TWTA) and a solid state power amplifier (SSPA… Show more

“…The input signal of the HPA is represented as follows:xfalse(tfalse)=ρfalse(tfalse)ejφ(t),where ρ ( t ) and φ ( t ) are the amplitude and phase of the signal, respectively. The HPA output signal can be expressed as :zfalse(tfalse)=ffalse(x(t)false)=Afalse[ρ(t)false]ej{φfalse(tfalse)+Φfalse[ρ(t)false]},where A [ ρ ( t )] is the amplitude nonlinearity, called AM/AM conversion, and Φ [ ρ ( t )] is the phase nonlinearity, called AM/PM conversion.…”

“…In the TWTA model, according to the Saleh memory model , the AM/AM and AM/PM characteristics are as follows:Afalse[ρ(t)false]=Asat2ρ(t)ρ(t)2+Asat2,Φfalse[ρ(t)false]=π3ρ(t)2ρ(t)2+Asat2,where A sat is the amplifier input saturation voltage. In the SSPA model, the functions A [ ρ ( t )] and Φ [ ρ ( t )] are given as :Afalse[ρ(t)false]=ρ(t)1+ρfalse(tfalse)A02p1{2p},Φρt=0,where A 0 is the maximum output amplitude and p is a control parameter of the transition from a linear region to a saturation region . Finally, the AM/AM and AM/PM characteristics based on the SEL model areAρt=ρtρtAnormalsatAsat…”

“…With OFDM and other multicarrier schemes, the transmitted signals have large envelope fluctuations (and, consequently, high peak‐to‐mean envelope power ratio and peak‐to‐average power ratio), leading to amplification difficulties . The nonlinear distortion causes both in‐band and out‐of‐band interference to signals.…”

“…Thus a preliminary study of the system is required to find a good trade-off between a maximum output power and degradation due to nonlinear distortions. Some results about OFDM performance in presence of nonlinearity are given in [2,3]. Generally, it is very difficult to mathematically analyze a M-QAM radio system with a nonlinear transmit amplifier and error correction decoding.…”
