Abstract

The receiver performance is degraded by nonlinear memory problem in communication system. The pre-distorter techniques are an effective technique to compensate for the nonlinear distortion of the HPA without memory effects. However, memory effect of HPA can no longer be ignored when data signal is transmitted in high speed. Many adaptive pre-distorter schemes have been studied to compensate for memory effect problem of HPA in transmitter. The complexity and cost of satellite will increase when using adaptive pre-distorter in satellite communication system. In this paper, we propose receiver feedback closed loop pre-distortion technique in order to compensate for nonlinear problem of HPA with memory problem. The purpose of this paper is to reduce complexity and cost of satellite design by using only pre-distorter at terrestrial station.

고전력 증폭기의 비선형 특성은 통신 시스템의 성능을 저하시키는 주요한 요인이다. 일반적인 전치왜곡기는 고전력 증폭기의 비선형 문제를 효과적으로 보상가능 하다. 그러나 고속 데이터 전송 시에 발생되는 메모리 효과는 보상하지 못하는 문제점이 있다. 메모리 효과를 효과적으로 보상하기 위해서 송신 단에서 다양한 적응형 전치왜곡기 방식이 제안되었다. 위성 통신 시스템에서는 기존의 적응형 전치왜곡기를 사용하기 위해서는 위성에 적응형 회로를 설계해야 되는 부담이 있다. 본 논문에서는 메모리 효과를 가진 고전력 증폭기의 비선형 문제를 보상하기 위해서 수신기 포함 폐루프 전치왜곡기를 제안한다. 제안한 시스템은 위성에서 전치왜곡기를 사용하지 않고 지상국에서만 전치왜곡기를 사용함으로써 위성의 복잡도와 설계비용을 낮출 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
