Abstract

A new linearization method for the high power amplifier modulated by a high peak-to-average ratio signal is proposed. The amplifier consists of a high power amplifier with a predistorter, a peak power limiter, and cancellation loops similar to the feedforward amplifier. The linearization performance is enhanced by reducing the peak input power to the amplifier using a rate limiter and the distortion from the limited signal is restored at the cancellation sub-path. Simulation and experimental results for the amplifier module with WCDMA signal show a significant improvement of ACLR.
