Abstract

In this paper, we design a power amplifier (PA) digital pre-distortion (DPD) module at the baseband transmitter to pre-compensate the nonlinearity and memory effect of the PA. In terms of DPD, we propose a low-complexity pseudo direct learning (PDL) DPD architecture based on the system level point of view according to the IEEE 802.11ad/ay specifications. The compensated error vector magnitude (EVM) performance of nonlinearity and memory effects can be improved from-12.8 dB to-21.7 dB at 16-QAM mode. The gain flatness of the-3 dB bandwidth can be extended from 0.3pi to 0.78pi with improving of 2.6 times. For the hardware implementation, we use TSMC 28-nm HPC_PLUS CMOS technology with four times parallelism to achieve 2.5 GHz chip rate. The gate counts and power of the proposed DPD design are 273.1 K and 98.0 mW, respectively.
