Abstract

Broadband amplifiers have been used in modern wireless communication systems. However, the accompanying disadvantage is that there is more nonlinear interference in the available operating frequency band. In addition to the in-band intermodulation distortion which affecting adjacent frequency bands the most important is harmonic distortion. In this letter we present a robust and low complex digital harmonic canceling model called cross-disturbing harmonic (CDH) model for broadband power amplifiers (PAs). The approach introducing cross terms is used to enhance the robustness of the model, thereby significantly increase the stability of the system. The CDH model still has excellent performance when actively reducing the number of coefficients. Comparisons are conducted between the CDH model and the other state-of-the-art model called memory polynomial harmonic (MPM) model. Experimental results show that the CDH model can achieve comparable performance as the MPM model but with much fewer (43%) coefficients.
