Full textToday, new applications of radio frequencies are designed and proposed to provide more services to users. Spectrum resource becomes increasingly scarce due to an explosion of applications for new services. To achieve higher spectral efficiency, different non constant-envelop modulation techniques have been adopted in modern communication systems. The resulted signals become more sensitive to the nonlinearity presented in the transmission channel, particularly that of the power amplifier (PA). Moreover, in modern communication system, the bandwidth being more and more wider, the memory effects of PAs can no longer be ignored. To achieve higher efficiency, we need to work with average input power close to the compression zone by using additional devices to linearize PAs. The purpose of linearization techniques is to obtain a linear characteristic up to the saturation zone of the PA. One of the most promising techniques is the baseband digital predistortion technique due to its simplicity, flexibility, and reconfigurability. This technique inverts digitally the nonlinearity of the PA in baseband before the PA to get an overall linearized system. The objective of this thesis is to find some efficient baseband predistortion based linearization techniques (fast and simple to implement on digital cards), for the power amplifier with nonlinear memory effects

Full textIn new generation mobile communication systems (WCDMA, CDMA2000, EDGE. . . ), where spectrum efficient modulation formats are used, power amplifier (PA) linearity is a quite difficult specification to meet. More over PAs are one of the most power consuming components in a mobile communication system. Therefore, power added efficiency (PAE) and linearity of power amplifier must be simultaneously optimized. PAs are usually operated with a power back-off in order to fulfill linearity specifications, which in turn results in lower power efficiency. One possible solution is to operate PAs near to saturation region where they are highly nonlinear but efficient, and linearize them by using external circuits. The main achievements of this thesis are : a) The study of LINC, ET and EER architectures using ADS simulator to highlight main drawbacks and advantages in the enhancement of both linearity and efficiency of power amplifiers. B) An accurate calibrated test bench for the characterization of power amplifier driven by modulated signals. The bench is then used to generate a behavioral model of power amplifier. C) A linearization method of power amplifier by mean of digital predistortion using the test bench has been proposed

Full textTelecommunication systems development is linked to working frequency and bandwidths increasement of future systems on one hand, and the growing place taken by digital electronics in the transmission chains on the other hand. Concerning the second point, the RF power generation in emitters is still implemented in an analog way, but the energy management of the RF power amplifiers is more and more assisted by numeric devices. The appearance of the 'digital technology' in the field of RF power is characterized by the implementation of high speed switching electronic systems like bias modulators for envelope tracking, power digital to analog converters (Power-DAC) or switching mode RF amplifiers (Classe S or D). This thesis work fits in this context, it describes two original switching devices based on GaN HEMT transistors. These elementary switching cells are realized in MMIC technology, they allow switching frequencies up to few hundreds MHz, with voltages reaching 50V, powers about 100W and energy efficiency greater than 80%. These switching cells are then used in various applications: two kinds of bias modulators for envelope tracking system as well as two architectures of class D amplifiers (half-bridge and full-bridge) are analyzed and validated by experimental results

Full textThis work responds to an increased industrial need for on carrier signals with variable envelope amplification used by current telecommunications systems. These signals have a strong PAPR and an envelope statistical distribution centred below the envelope peak value, the reason why the telecom industrialists then require a robust and reliable high power amplifiers having an energy expenditure along of the envelope dynamics associated with an acceptable level of linearity. This document presents the results of the study and realization of two, high efficiency, Doherty Power Amplifiers (DPA) encapsulated in QFN plastic packages. The first is a conventional Doherty power Amplifier (DPA-SE) and the second is a dual-input Doherty power amplifier (DPA-DE). These C-band demonstrators are based on the use of Quasi-MMIC technology combining power bars based on the AlGaN/GaN transistors on SiC to matching circuits in ULRC technology. The Quasi-MMIC approach combined with Quasi-MMIC approach combined with QFN plastic package solution for better thermal behaviour management offers electrical performances similar to those of MMIC technology with very attractive coasts and manufacturing cycles. During this work, a new evaluation method for the transistors dedicated to the design of DPA was developed and implemented. The intensive use of 2.5D and 3D electromagnetic simulations made it possible to take into account the coupling effects existing between the different circuits in the QFN package environment. The results of the tests of the amplifiers realised and operating on 1GHz bandwidth validated the design method and showed that the advanced concepts associated with the Quasi-MMIC approach as well as plastic encapsulation technologies can generate innovative microwave functions. The characterizations of the DPA-DE have noted the interest inherent in the preformation of the excitation signals and the bias points of each stage of the amplifier

Full textThe RF power amplifiers realized from components stemming from III-V technologies are at present the most successful because of their intrinsic physics properties. Nevertheless these technologies do not completely answer the requirements of the radiotelephony mobile market in term of cost of returns. New generations of MOS power transistors on silicon such as the LDMOS appeared to answer this need. These power devices have the advantage to be realized in mature technologies and offer very honourable performances to much lower costs, what is a major trump card in the current context where the cellular telephone market is very sensitive to the price of components. This thesis deals with a reflection on the potentialities of a transistor LDMOS integrated into a 0. 25 µm BiCMOS technology and on the optimization of its performances for RF power amplifiers circuits integrated on silicon. Firstly, the LDMOS transistor physical mechanisms and also the main reasons that make the LDMOS transistor a better candidate than the MOSFET for radio frequencies applications are presented. The work described afterward articulates around the realization and the optimisation of the LDMOS transistor for RF power applications. In fact, the technological parameters are determined in order to get a device, which output characteristics match the ones fixed by the application. Then an analysis is made to identify the device intrinsic and extrinsic parameters, which are susceptible to improve its dynamic performances. For it the effect of the modifications of architecture, layout as well as the manufacturing process on the dynamic characteristics were studied and ended in promising results. Indeed the performances of the optimized transistor LDMOS reach the state of the art

Full textThis work deals with the linearization of power amplifiers. The aim is to evaluate experimentally linearization performance of digital baseband predistortion techniques and to propose some novel efficient implementation approaches. First, the traditional study based on power series modeling of the PA was repeated. Nonlinear phenomena were described and quantified. In the second part, we present a state of the art on the various linearization techniques. The most important part of this study was dedicated to the adaptive digital baseband predistortion technique. A new method for the implementation of digital predistortion was then proposed. This method was validated with simulations under Matlab and with measures. Its performances were compared to other classical implementation methods. An investigation on implementation complexity was also realized when continuous adaptation is adopted. The proposed method forms a good compromise between complexity and speed of convergence. The last part of this thesis was devoted to measurements. An automated measurement test bench has been specifically developed for the evaluation of digital baseband predistortion techniques. Two sets of measurements with two amplifiers, low and high power amplifiers, were carried out. The aim was to evaluate experimentally the performances of the proposed method and to highlight the memory effects in high power amplifiers, and evaluate the performance of digital predistortion techniques in this case

Full textThe antagonism between information capacity and energetic efficiency in the context of wireless communications, more precisely : the trade-off between transmitter linearity and its efficiency ; is the main driver of this thesis. A FPGA5-based architecture for digital predistortion (DPD) linearizers for RF power amplifiers is proposed in this thesis. By means of separating the adaptation process from the predistortion itself, a convenient, simple hardware building block for the DPD architecture inside the FPGA {the Basic Predistortion Cell (BPC){ has been identified. A BPC-based architecture provides independency from the particular DPD function derivation method, and it is easily scalable and reconfigurable, depending on the operation mode and degree of impairments introduced by the transmitter chain in each particular case. In order to support those claims and provide experimental evidence, two main different prototyping scenarios have been developed. In the first one, a DPD adaptive linearizer based on the passivity theory (hyperstable systems) has been designed and implemented on a low-cost mixed FPGA/DSP platform. Besides experimental results, complementary signal proces sing techniques to DPD are also addressed, thus giving a wide insight on realistic scenarios of DPD systems. In the second scenario, an advanced, adaptive DPD system aimed at compensating not only PA's nonlinear behavior, but also its memory effects, is presented. It is based on a Nonlinear Auto-Regressive Moving Average7 structure which is mapped into hardware using a BPC grid-structure. Besides the experimental results on PA efficiency and linearity, FPGA implementation issues {such as adaptation and power consumption{ are also studied. The manipulation of the PA class of operation to improve its efficiency, provided that DPD may be unavoidable due to the impact of memory effects, is discussed as well. Finally, to further improve efficiency, a DPD linearizer with dynamic supply built-in capabilities has been proposed and implemented as discussed in the last part of this thesis. There, an efficient, bandwidth limited, switched DC-DC converter is in charge of the PA supply modulation. The thorough design procedure targeting a FPGA implementation shows how the necessary functions for commanding the supply modulator can be seamlessly integrated within the DPD processor. The experimental results highlight how the proposed solution maintains linearity and enhances the PA efficiency when compared to a DPD-only method

Full textIn order to have a good autonomy with the mobile, it is necessary to use a high-efficiency power amplifier. Furthermore, the amplifier must be linear to respect the spectral constraints imposed by the telecommunications norms. That is why since several years, techniques to linearize a high efficient power amplifier have been proposed. The purpose of this study is to design a complete power amplifier linearization system destinated to radio-mobile application. This linearization technique is based on adaptive baseband predistortion. The amplifier is represented by Hammerstein model and the proposed adaptive predistortion technique is based on this model. Simulation results show the capacity of the method to linearize power amplifiers. Experimental results confirm the feasibility and the advantages of this new method

Full textThe increasing demande of wireless connectivity drives the development of the new genration standards using the leading edge technologies in terms of telecommunication. To meet announced data rates, the use of more and more complex signal is necessary to have the most efficient use of the finite radio spectrum. This involve more stringent constraints on the radio emitter to ensure information integrity and a good quality of service. In this context, this thesis aims to the energetic and spectral performance improvement of a CMOS Power Amplifier (PA) for handheld application through a linearization scheme. The PA designed in this thesis is based on the MASMOS (patented cell) and must meet our specifications.The flip-chip interconnection study shows that its impact must be mitigated. For that, we select the differential topology pour the PA design. A differential reference structure (withtout linearization scheme) are designed and measured. It consists in a power stage terminated by a balun integrated on a laminate substrate synthesizing optimal impedance at the fundamental and second harmonic frequencies. The obtained results are close to the state of the art for the CMOS PA for 3G without any linearization scheme.Then, we propose two circuit linearization scheme specific to differential structures. We have selected the use of a differential second harmonic filter within the amplifying cell. The full PA (driver stage + power stage) is then designed. We propose a design method for the output balun as well as the inter-stage matching network. The final simulation results allow us to conclude that the proposed PA exceed the specifications

Full textEmerging communication systems are oriented toward the modulations with non-constant envelope like OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) and to the use of spread spectrum techniques. The modulated signals exhibit large dynamic and the influence of power amplifier nonlinearity cannot be further neglected. A solution is to correct the power amplifier nonlinearity with an additional device so that the resulting system exhibits quasi linear characteristic ideally up to saturation. This dissertation is oriented in the domain of digital predistortion for power amplifier linearization. It begins with the study of the influence of memoryless nonlinearity on the OFDM signal. A relationship between EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) at the output of the power amplifier and the amplifiers characteristics is derived. The main part of the dissertation is devoted to the algorithms for the adaptation of digital adaptive baseband predistorters. After the state of the art presentation, several adaptation methods or their modifications are proposed and evaluated using simulations. The influence of main sources of imperfections (quantization in data converters and quadrature modulator imbalance) on the adaptation algorithms was investigated as well. Submitted dissertation also compares the complexity of different approaches (LUT predistorters, memoryless polynomial predistorters, polynomial predistorter with memory) used for predistortion. The efficiency of transmitters employing digital predistortion is also briefly discussed

Full textModern communications systems converge towards multi-standard operation combined with high PAPR modulation formats where the power amplifier must first be optimized in efficiency and where linearity will then be corrected by adding a predistorter. If this solution seems functional, it seems inadequate and ineffective on 5G systems where the targeted bandwidths pose both architectural problems (complexity of the observation path) and problems of accuracy of the usual behavioural models based on a simplification of the Volterra series in its discrete form (GMP, DDR) in the face of exacerbated memory effects but also of energy efficiency of the linearized system (DPD+PA). In this context, it becomes necessary to move towards a predistorter model less dependent on the characteristics of the signal to be linearized, in particular by the TPM (Two path Memory) model developed at XLIM, based on a simplification of the Volterra series in its continuous form, is independent of the characteristics of the signal to be linearized.Our work focused on evaluating the linearity performance of the classical models (GMP, DDR) and the TPM model on different power amplifiers either from simulations or from physical measurements of the PA. To do this, we have set up a simulation environmentand an evaluation bench for predistortion models with physical PA in order to quantify ACPR performance according to the variation in signal characteristics (power, frequency, statistics). All these experiments made it possible to verify, on the one hand,the poor robustness of traditional approaches (GMP/DDR) and, on the other hand, the stability of the performance of the TPM approach, whatever the scenario envisaged. This study therefore paves the way for a new generation of pre-distributor which, if extracted once and for all, would only require an update on slow dynamic phenomena (ageing) and would make it possible to consider a simplified architecture of the DPD observation path; thus improving the overall energy efficiency of the linearizedsystem

Full textAmong others, the spurious levels must be lower than the threshold imposed by regulation authorities to avoid disturbing the other channels. Taking in account the non linearity nature of power amplifiers, increase the emitted power leads to increase the efficiency but also the spurious level. Consequently, broadcasters should reach a compromise between spurious level and transmitters cost. DVB-T programs are currently amplified in mono-channel, i. E. Each multiplex is amplified by its own amplifier. The efficiency is improved using a digital predistorter and a band-pass filter. The digital predistorter minimizes in band and out of band intermodulations, and the filter cleans the spectrum. The digital predistortion method, simulated in this memory, allows a great improvement of the shoulders and the BER. Multi-channel amplification would conduce to a high profit because only one amplifier is necessary to treat several channels. However without linearization, the amplifier must be used with a very high output back-o? in order to keep the spurious level below the fixed threshold. In this thesis we present a multi-channel predistorter that highly improves the shoulders and the spurious level

Full textThe research reported in this PhD Thesis is focused on power amplifier wideband linearization by analog predistortion. This work aims to reduce the spectral regrowth due to their nonlinear response over the satellite transmission. This dissertation starts with a presentation of power amplifiers used in transmitters. Through it, we expose their nonlinearity effects on the signal quality. To overcome those effects, the lattest linearization methods were reviewed, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Based on this state of art, an analog predistortion structure was identified. It relates to a reflective structure made up of Schottky diodes, of which a part of this thesis is devoted to the analysis of its nonlinear behavior. Drawn on simulations and measurements, this analysis led us to the implementation of the reflective structure for the purpose of a traveling wave tube amplifier linearization over the Ku band. Our work was then directed towards to a new more innovative structure built on two predistortion circuits wired in series. This new structure gets a more flexible and accurate configuration compared to the previous one and allowed us to obtain better results regarding linearity improvement. The last part of this thesis work is dedicated to an experimental approach of two base band digital predistortion methods. The aim of this approach rests on the achievable enhancement of TWTA linearity and the comparison between the results obtained with the analog predistortion

Full textThe studies presented in this dissertation are focussed on the development of a parameter estimation method and the design of linearization techniques for radio frequency power amplifiers. Firstly, we review briefly the main criteria for the evaluation of power amplifier characteristics. Models usually described in literature are presented. Secondly, we have developed a new identification procedure for radio frequency power amplifier in the presence of nonlinear distortion and memory effects. The proposed procedure uses a continuous-time model where PA dynamics are modelled with the Hammerstein model based on a multivariable filter and a general polynominal function. Using the base band input and output data, model parameters are obtained by an iterative identification algorithm. Finally, the proposed estimation method is tested and validated on simulation and experimentation by comparison of the quadrature signals in time domain. The third part is dedicated to the presentation of techniques to improve the PA linearity. Base band techniques are preferred because numerical algorithm can be used to control their operating parameters. Then, digital predistortion and internal model control are evaluated. An adaptative technique for digital predistortion is presented. The proposed method uses the real-time digital processing of base band signals to compensate the nonlinearities and memory effects. Recursive Least Squares and Kalman filtering algorithms are used to track the changes in the PA characteristics. Simulation and measurement results, using digital signal processing, are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach

Full textPower amplifier is one of the most critical element within radiocommunications systems. The PA is their main source of nonlinearities and it has a great contribution on the emitter's power consumption. Running the PA with highest power efficiency is thus as crucial as having it linear for a good communication quality. However these two specifications of the PA are antagonistic and PA manifacturers need to find a compromise between linearity and power efficiency. Digital Predistortion (DPD) and Crest factor Reduction techniques are intended to improve power efficiency while preserving linearity or inversely. Linearization of wideband RF power amplifiers using Digital Predistortion is the focus of this thesis. Three DPD issues are investigated in these works. The first issue deals with multiband linearization where signals with various waveforms located at different frequency bands are amplified. The second objective of this thesis is to study a concurrent DPD/CFR systems based on an automatic estimation of the necessary CFR gain. The last part of this dissertation deals with PA linearization under antenna load variations. Indeed, the impedance of antenna may vary because of electromagnetic objects that are present in its vicinity. Those impedance variations may instigate signal reflections toward the PA, that modify some of its main specifications (linearity, delivered power and efficiency). Our goal in this field is to preserve DPD linearization performances under antenna load mismatch

Full textThe researches carried out in this thesis are related to the design of protection and linearization circuits enabling RF power amplifier modules to meet all the constraints of wireless telephony, namely: ruggedness, linearity, low power consumption, downsizing and cost. In the first part of this memory, we study the improvement of power amplifier ruggedness against impedance mismatches that are induced by environment variations of the handset antenna. The analysis of the failure mechanisms of HBT GaAs and HBT SiGe transistors demonstrates that the current of the final stage has to be limited. Then, we designed an original protection circuit based on the detection of the collector current of the power transistor. The developed protection circuit is very compact and it is monolithically integrated on a power amplifier die. It does alter neither the output power, nor the power added efficiency under a 50 Ohms load. The protected power amplifier passes ruggedness tests with VSWR up to 10 and battery voltages up to 5V. .

Full textModern communication systems require the use of modulation schemes that lead to non envelope constant microwave signals. The peak to average power ratio (PAPR) of these signals is large. In such conditions, power amplifiers used in transmitters are critical devices because they need to be optimized in terms of both electrical efficiency and linearity which are antagonist parameters if conventional power amplifier architectures are considered. Consequently there is a major interest in research activities dealing with new power amplifier architectures that enable to obtain either high efficiency or good linearity performances. This can be reached if linearization techniques are applied to high efficiency power amplifiers designs. In such a context it is of prime interest to develop a laboratory set up that includes dynamic biasing of power amplifiers and digital predistortion capabilities to investigate novel high efficiency and linear amplification solutions. This has been accomplished in this work and applied to the optimisation of both efficiency and linearity of a 10 Watt GaN amplifier at S Band. Finally an experimental study that consists in low pass filtering the dynamic drain bias voltage is reported. The goal is to find a possible solution to enhance the efficiency of the bias modulator circuit without impacting to much linearity performances

Full textUnmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), often known as drones, have been finding numerous applications in life. Drones applications need several essential performance indicators such as coverage, signal strength, latency, and mobility under scenarios. Therefore, the use of wireless communications in drones is critical to address all requirements. Because of high-speed connections between drones and users to transfer high-resolution high-volume data, latest wireless generations, namely the LTE standard, are privileged. It is straightforward that the integration of RF blocks is essential to build a system-on-chip and shrink the size of drones. To answer the above question, this thesis aims to develop a fully integrated reconfigurable high-performance innovated PA that supports 4G LTE standard to be used in UAVs’ applications. The fully integrated 65-nm CMOS power amplifier (PA) provides a watt-level output power, addresses the linearity/efficiency trade-off. A four-winding transformer is implemented to configure the multi-mode operation of the PA. The “segmented bias” technique allows the PA to increase the linearity. The PA not only obtains high radiofrequency performances but also demonstrates a potential to adopt it design in the lower 5G band

Full textThe signals used in modern telecommunication systems are very complex in the sense that multicarrier signals, digitally modulated and spread spectrum signals are required. The main characteristic of these signals is their time variant envelope. To characterize the linearity of power amplifiers used in these systems, one of the criterions, which is essential today is the NPR (Noise Power Ratio). After the description of the means of power amplifier characterizations under CW and multicarrier operations as well as CAD tools, an in depth study of the multicarrier linearity factor used (the NPR) is undertaken. A design method for power amplifier in terms of linearity and consumption was developed. This method is based on the optimisation of a new specific figure of merit (C/(N+I)=f(Pdc/N) which directly integrates the total signal to noise ratio of the system in a joint optimization of consumption and NPR. A systematic study of the optimal loading impedance and the operation classes of amplifiers is performed. One shows the interest of taking into account load and source impedances at the 2nd harmonic. The new design methodology is applied to the realization of two amplifiers optimized in linearity and consumption. An experimental checking validates the successive steps of the design. A complete characterization on a NPR measurement set-up of the two produced amplifiers is presented

Full textBaseband digital predistortion (DPD) techniques for linearizing power amplifiers (PA) with memory effects are investigated in this thesis. Firstly, the relevant elements concerning PA linearization are introduced, such as PA nonlinearity behavior, its influence on the communication systems, its modeling and characterization. . . Then some existing linearization techniques are presented, such as power backoff, feedforward, feedback, linear amplification with nonlinear components and DPD. DPD is the most promising linearization technique. After that, the implementation architecture and identification algorithms of DPD are described. In this thesis, four DPD methods are proposed. The first method (MP/LUT DPD) is to combine a memory polynomial (MP) model and a simple non-interpolated LUT. Both the amplitude and phase of the predistorted signal are calculated by LUT. The second method is to add linear interpolation technique to MP/LUT DPD. The third method improves the second one by using a quadratic interpolation technique to MP/LUT DPD. The fourth method is to combine MP DPD and feed forward neural network. The principal innovation is that the training samples of the neural networks are the predistorded signal obtained by MP DPD. Finally, simulation results and experimental results are given and analyzed. The proposed methods provide different trade-off between the linearization performance, time efficiency and complexity

In a global attempt to reduce the utilization of the planet’s resources, the 5G NR standard aims to decrease by 90% the power consumed by the exchange of one bit of information compared to 4G networks. However, this efficiency enhancement cannot be done at the detriment of the quality of a communication.In an RF transmitter, the power amplifier is the most power hungry element. It is typically associated with low efficiency, around 30% at average.This thesis aims to study novel power amplifier architectures that substantially increase the energy efficiency while maintaining a high quality of signal and limiting the needs of digital computing

Full textSince the first generation of mobile phones, a lot of functions, standards and tools have been integrated on handsets. Twenty years ago, consumers could use their mobile phones only to call and to send messages. Nowadays, internet access, radio, cameras, games and music are included and available as options for every mobile phone.All of these new services make the cost of production for a cellular phone more expensive. Despite that, industry has to find a solution to maintain their products the most attractive as possible including the large range of integrated functions.In the context of interaction with other standards, the aim of this thesis is to design and implement a chipset able to improve the linearity of a transmitter for third generation mobile phones, using both digital and analog technologies. For this purpose, the study will focus on the improvement of the linearity, keeping the consumption and the die area of the circuit as small as possible. We will prove that linearization on an integrated circuit is possible with almost the same consumption and die area occupation compared to a classic transmitter.The first chapter presents the different architectures used for a transmitter and various linearization techniques with their advantages and drawbacks. Some metrics are also presented in order to evaluate these architectures. The goal of this part is to choose a linearization technique associated to a transmitter in order to fit with our application and constraints.The second chapter explains the complete system, digital and analog parts, with theoretical studies. We will start by detailing the constraints and precautions that must be taken into account by the designer to study the instability and the noise generated by the transmitter. We will describe how two algorithms make signal corrections. In the last part we will show system level simulations of the Cartesian Feedback using, first, an ideal power amplifier (PA), then, a PA in a BiCMOS technology, and finally, a PA in a CMOS technology that will be used for the final integrated circuit.The third and last chapter shows the digital synthesis in a CMOS technology of the two algorithms previously mentioned, considering all steps, from the VHDL code until the layout of the digital part. We will describe and simulate each analog building block of the Cartesian Feedback, with the measurement results for some of them. Each chapter will be working towards the goal of this study, demonstrated in this part: to make an integrated system, with its complete solution and simulations.This chapter presents the integration of the analog and digital Cartesian Feedback described previously in 65nm CMOS technology from STMicroelectronics. First, the digital part generating the phase correction and subtraction will be shown in ASIC technology, with a CORDIC algorithm to reduce its consumption and size. Secondly, the architecture and specification of building blocks will be shown. In our case, the direct path is composed of filters, RF modulator and a Power Amplifier. Our objective is to design these three functions to minimize the consumption and the silicon area of the integrated architecture. Finally, system level simulations will be presented using the ADS (Advanced Design Software) from Agilent for the analog part. Co-simulations have been done to analyze the whole system, with SystemVue for the digital part. The simulations using ADS will provide the performance of each building block on the transistors level

Full textThis work presents the design, realization and measurement result of integrated broadband Doherty amplification circuits for base stations, required for 5G. Initially, based on the research for techniques to improve electrical efficiency for signals with high dynamic range, the Doherty technique is chosen to continue the work. Studies on different Doherty architectures showed that performance can be improved and extended by adding a third stage (3-way Doherty) with calculated auxiliary transistors’ sizes for which are operated in class C mode. Limitations on the practical use of the Doherty technique is demonstrated by the considerations of various non linearities of the LDMOS transistors. The research of wideband architectures shows simultaneous advantages of integration and broadband capability by the CdS absorption technique and the use of mixed type of input splitters. Based on the results of various studies, three-way Doherty MMIC power amplifiers were designed and realized using the CdS absorption technique with an asymmetry ratio of 1 : 3 : 3 in the band of 1805 MHz to 2170 MHz. Experimental performances have shown the potentialities of the 3-way Doherty and a clear efficiency improvement over the entire frequency band. Specific wideband operating conditions are presented to reduce distortion products of third (IMD 3), 10th and 12th (IMD 10/12). The linearity measurements at different instantaneous bandwidths are very encouraging and validate the new asymmetric three-way Doherty architecture

Full textThis dissertation contributes to the linearization techniques of high power amplifier using digital predistortion method. High power amplifier is one of the most nonlinear components in radio transmitters. Unfortunately, for most current types of power amplifiers, a good efficiency is obtained at the price of a poor linearity especially with modern communication waveforms. Baseband adaptive digital predistortion is a powerful technique to linearize the power amplifiers and allows to push the power amplifier operation point towards its high efficiency region. Linearization of power amplifiers using digital predistortion with low complexities is the focus of this dissertation. An algorithm is proposed to determine an optimal model structure of single-stage or multi-stage predistorter according to a trade-off between modeling accuracy and model complexity. Multi-stage cascaded digital predistortions are studied with different identification methods, which have advantages on complexity of model identification compared with single-stage structure. The linearization performances are validated by experimental implementations on test bench. In terms of experimental implementations, this dissertation studies the impact of different gain choices on linearized power amplifier. All studies are evaluated with a Doherty power amplifier

Full textIn our work, we have studied the impact of in-band non linear distortions caused by PA on both OFDM and FBMC/OQAM systems. A theoretical approach was proposed to evaluate the BER performance for the two systems. This approach is based on modeling the in-band non-linear distortion with a complex gain and an uncorrelated additive white Gaussian noise, given by the Bussgang theorem. Then, we have proposed different techniques to compensate this NLD either on the transmitter or the receiver sides
