Abstract

This work presents a new direct learning for a neural network based digital predistortion linearizer using backpropagation through a memory power amplifier. The learning method is compared with indirect learning among other methods. The proposed learning methods are evaluated on a wideband CMOS power amplifier using a 160 MHz 802.11ax WiFi signal with an 11.5 dB peak-to-average power ratio and a center frequency of 1 GHz at 8.2 dBm average transmit power. The direct learning using memory backpropagation shows superior performance to other proposed learning methods, achieving a correction of 10.8 dB to the error vector magnitude to -39 dB EVM.
