Abstract

Due to its ability to combat multipath effects, COFDM is now part of some well known digital broadcasting standards. However, COFDM can be seriously affected by nonlinear distortion caused, mainly, by the power amplifier at the transmitter. In this paper, an investigation on the nonlinear effects in a DVB-T link is reported. To minimize the nonlinear effects on link performance, a linearization subsystem is applied before the power amplifier. Simulation results for bit error rate, signal constellations, and power spectral densities for the received signal are included.
