Linearization Techniques

TWTA and SSPA

Digital Predistortion (DPD)

Analog Predistortion

Hybrid RF/DPD

Future Plan

Multiple standards [2G, 3G, 4G, 5G

( 2018)].
Existence of incompatible wireless

network technologies.

Presence of legacy subscriber handsets

Solutions are:

Hardware Solution: Up-grade when

standard evolved [Impractical].

Software Solution: To use DSPs and

general purpose microprocessors.

Feasible solution is SDR

Solution is: Replace with efficient PA

 [Impractical]

Solution is: To propose some

Software methods to increase

efficiency and linearity of

PA.
