Abstract
Modern wireless communication equipment such as
outphasing power amplifiers or systems like massive-MIMO rely
heavily on transmission of complex wideband modulated radio
frequency signals on parallel signal paths. As these signal
bandwidths increase, wireless transmitters are more susceptible to
amplitude and phase distortions across frequency. We propose a
novel method to quantify the complex signal distortions in each
transmit path and a technique to pre-compensate the transmitter
over a wide bandwidth of interest. This work has been
experimentally validated with measured results on two separate
RF test benches using signal bandwidths up to 100 MHz. An
outphasing power amplifier bench for WCDMA at S band
requiring 4 signal paths and a satellite uplink modulator using 8-
PSK at Ku band requiring two signal paths were tested in the
experimental validation. Further, it is also validated that this
method requires only one iteration to calibrate a set of parallel RF
signal paths.
