Abstract

This paper presents a new digital predistortion (DPD) solution for wideband signals with low feedback sampling rate. To reduce the minimum sampling rate of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for wideband digital predistortion, the proposed method uses a bandpass filter to form a narrowband signal before the ADC. Then, a deconvolution operation is performed to recover the original wideband signal from the ADC samples. The proposed method is evaluated with an international mobile telecommunication-advanced signal with 100 MHz bandwidth. The simulation results show that the recovered signal of the proposed method closely approximates to the original signal in the passband of the filter, and the mean square error of the deconvolution decreases as the signal-to-noise ratio increases. The proposed algorithm can reduce the sampling rate of the ADC from 1105.92 million samples per second (MSPS) to 368.64 MSPS, and improve the adjacent channel power ratio more than 20 dB, which is merely 5.6 dB less than the conventional DPD with 1105.92 MSPS sampling rate.
