Digital Predistortion Using a Vector Switched Model
Journal article, 2012

Abstract—A switched behavioral model considering memory effects with special focus on ”difficult” amplifier architectures is proposed in this paper. The proposed model is shown to be very simple and linearly identifiable. A digital predistorter based on the proposed model is implemented for a 100–W, 2.6 GHz Doherty power amplifier that has been considered difficult in other reports, and it is shown that the proposed model can succesfully linearize the amplifier. In particular, the proposed model and the digital predistorter is shown to outperform other state-of-the-art models and digital predistorers in terms of computational complexity for a given desired accuracy.
