In this paper, a new predistorter controlling modified individual order jntermodulation distortion signals is proposed. The proposed predistorter generates and controls predistorted third and high order IM signals independently. Using predistorted signals, jntermodulation distortion signals of power amplifier are suppressed effectively. The predistortion linearizer has been implemented to operate in Korean PCS basestation transmitting band (1840～1870MHz). The test results show that IMD3 and IMD5 (C/I) of power amplifier are improved more than 40dB and 23dB for CW two tone signals, respectively. The predistorter improves the adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) more than 10dB at 885KHz offset point for CDMA (IS-95) signals.

차세대 이동통신 시스템을 위해 활발히 연구되고 있는 MC-CDMA 방식은 OFDM과 DS-CDMA의 장점을 결합하여 심벌간 간섭과 페이딩에 강하고 IFFT/FFT를 이용하여 효과적으로 변조/복조부를 구현할 수 있다는 장점을 갖는다. 하지만, 송신 신호가 다중 레벨 진폭 특성을 갖기 때문에 손신기에서 사용되는 고출력 증폭기의 포화 특성으로 인해 심각한 비선형 왜곡이 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 OFDM에서 이러한 비선형 왜곡의 보상을 위해 우리가 제안한 고정점 반복 기반의 사전왜곡기를 MC-CDMA 시스템에 적용하고, 이의 우수한 성능을 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음 채널에서 64-FFT/IFFT을 이용하여 변조 및 복조를 수행하는 MC-CDMA 시스템에 대한 모의실험을 통해 확인하였다.

방사왜곡, 접선왜곡으로 인해 영상의 왜곡이 발생한다. 왜곡 영상은 시각적인 문제 외에도 영상분석을 통해 정확한 수치 계산을 통해 영상을 처리할 때, 문제가 되기 때문에 영상을 보정해 주어야한다. 감시 시스템, 로봇의 시각 역할 등 다양한 비전 시스템에서 카메라가 장착되어 왜곡보정에 대한 사용도가 증가 하고 있다. 그리고 한 광각 카메라에서 획득한 영상은 비선형적인 방사 왜곡을 가지고 있기 때문에 정확한 영상을 획득하기 위해서는 왜곡 보정 작업을 수행하여야 한다. 왜곡된 영상을 올바르게 보정 해줄 캘리브레이션(Calibration)은 영상 좌표계의 한 점이 실세계 좌표계의 어느 위치에 대응하는지를 결정하기 위해 보정 변수들을 결정하는 과정이다. 본 논문에서는 캘리브레이션(Calibration)을 수행할 때 패턴 개수, 이미지 파일 크기, 이미지 파일 개수가 영상 왜곡 보정에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 분석해 보았을 때 다른 어떤 경우보다 패턴 개수를 비교적 작게 했을 때의 경우가 뚜렷한 차이를 보여주었다.

This paper presents a new data predistortion technique with memory to compensate for the nonlinearities of high-power amplifiers (HPA`s) in digital radio systems employing QAM signal formats. In contrast with the conventional data predistortion technique which is designed to reduce nonlinearity of memoryless HPA`s, the proposed technique in this paper compensates not only for nonlinear warping of the signal constellation but also for clustering of the signal points caused by transmitter pulse sharping filter with memory. A practical implementation method which can reduce the size of memory at the predistortion stage is described by utilizing symmetry of QAM constellation format and Modulo-4 operation.

무선 방송 통신 시스템에서는 높은 전력신호를 송신하기 위하여 고전력 증폭기(HPA)를 사용한다. 그러나 고전력 증폭기는 비선형 왜곡 특성을 가지고 있으며 이는 송신 신호의 품질을 저하하는 요소로 작용한다. 비선형 왜곡특성을 극복하기 위하여 여러 가지 방법이 제안되었으며 이중 LUT를 사용하는 전치 왜곡기법과 다항식을 이용한 전치 왜곡기법이 많이 사용된다. 본 논문에서는 다항식을 이용한 전치 왜곡기에서 기존보다 작은 오차와 안정화된 역함수를 제안하고 모의실험을 통하여 기존 보다 개선된 성능을 얻을 수 있음을 보인다.

Optical performance depending on the input wavefront distortion is analyzed in terms of StreW ratio. The amplitude of wavefront distortion at the optic axis that gives the system diffraction limited optical performance is described quantatively from the analysis of the Strehl ratio, which is obtained at the image plane using the input wavefront that is characterized by low and high spatial frequency. uency.

As recording densities increase in digital magnetic recording channels, the performances of digital detection techniques such as PRML and DFE degrade significantly due to nonlinear distortion in recording channels. The primary impediments for hgih-density recording are generally classified as nonlinear transition shift, which can be reduced substantially by the precompensation technique, and partial erasure which usually requires sophisticated nonlinear equalization techniques. In order to acheieve the highest density recording, accurate estimation of the parameters associated with these two noninear distortions is crucial. In this paper, a new estimation technique to distinguish these two different nonlinear effect using a proposed adaptive algorithm in time domain is presented. The effectiveness of the proposed adaptive approach to identify uniquely the nonlinear parameter with bias is demonstrated by computer simulation.

A new polynomial-based predistortion method for linearizing nonlinear power amplifier is proposed. The proposed method finds the predistortion parameter directly without the help of postdistorter whereas most existing polynomial-based predistortion methods calculate the predistortion parameter indirectly from the prostdistorter. First, a new predistortion algorithm is derived based on the assumption that the characteristic of the amplifier is modeled by piecewise linear function. Then it is modified into a proposed method which does not require any assumption or prior knowledge of the amplifier. The proposed method is derived based on the RLS (recursive least squares) algorithm. The proposed technique is simpler to implement than the existing methods and the computer simulation demonstrates that the proposed method is more robust to the initial condition and the saturation region of the amplifier.

Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) is a linearization technique for nonlinear power amplifiers (PAs) by implementing inverse function of the PA at baseband digital stage. To obtain proper DPD parameters, a feedback path is required to convert the PA output to a baseband signal, and a memory is also needed to store the feedback signals. DPD parameters are usually found by an adaptive algorithm from the feedback samples. However, for the adaptive algorithm to converge to a reliable solution, long feedback samples are required, which increases convergence time and hardware complexity. In this paper, we propose a DPD technique that requires relatively short feedback samples. From the observation that the convergence time of the adaptive algorithm highly depends on the initial condition, this paper iteratively utilizes the feedback samples while keeping and using the converged DPD parameters at the former iteration as the initial condition at the current iteration. Computer simulation results show that the proposed method performs better than the conventional technique while the former requires much shorter feedback samples than the latter.

We propose a predistorter to compensate for nolinear distortion induced by a high power amplifier employed in multi carrier-code division multiple access (MC-CDMA) systems. The proposed scheme rests upon the fixed point iteration (FPI) associated with the contraction mapping theorem. Unlike the predistorter based on the FPI already presented by the authors in other literatures which operates on complex-valued modulation signals, the proposed predistorter in this paper deals with real-valued FPI on modulation signal amplitudes, resulting in less complexity. Simulation results on a BPSK-modulated, 64-subcarrier synchronous MC-CDMA baseband system with a traveling wave tube amplifier in the transmitter, indicate that the proposed predistorter achieves significant improvement in terms of bit error rate and total degradation over those without the predistorter. Moreover, the proposed predistorter outperforms the complex-valued counterpart, in particular, for small output back-off levels.
