The linearization of radio frequency power amplifiers (PAs) for wireless communication systems can be performed by a digital baseband predistorter (DPD). The DPD design includes the parameter identification of a post-inverse or a pre-inverse model. Such process depends on measurements of discrete-time complex-valued envelopes. With the adoption of larger envelope bandwidths and the PA operation at stronger nonlinear regimes, the requirements on the sampling frequency are very stringent. To relax the specifications on the analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, a band-limited memory polynomial can be employed. To reduce the amount of calculations, polynomials can be replaced by linearly interpolated look-up tables (LUTs). Traditionally, a non optimal two step procedure is performed to identify the values to be stored in the LUTs. This work contribution is to propose an optimal identification technique that computes directly the values to be stored in the LUTs. The reported case study uses an LTE OFDMA envelope and Matlab simulation results show that the modeling accuracy can be significantly improved by the adoption of the proposed technique instead of the traditional one, quantified by reductions in normalized mean square error and adjacent channel power ratio of up to 10.8 dB and 12.4 dB, respectively.

In optical transmitters generating multi-level constellations, optical modulators are preceded by Electronic Digital-to-Analog-Converters (eDAC). It is advantageous to use eDAC-free Optical Analog to Digital Converters (oDAC) to directly convert digital bitstreams into multilevel PAM/QAM optical signals. State-of-the-art oDACs are based on Segmented Mach-Zehnder-Modulators (SEMZM) using multiple modulation segments strung along the MZM waveguides to serially accumulate binary-modulated optical phases. Here we aim to assess performance limits of the Serial oDACs (SEMZM) and introduce an alternative improved Multi-Parallel oDAC (MPoDAC) architecture, in particular based on arraying multiple binary-driven MZMs in parallel: Multi-parallel MZM (MPMZM) oDAC. We develop generic methodologies of oDAC specification and optimization encompassing both SEMZM and MPMZM options in Direct-Detection (DD) and Coherent-Detection (COH) implementations. We quantify and compare intrinsic performance limits of the various serial/parallel DD/COH subclasses for general constellation orders, comparing with the scant prior-work on the multi-parallel option. A key finding: COH-MPMZM is the only class synthesizing ‘perfect’ (equi-spaced max-full-scale) constellations while maximizing energy-efficiency-SEMZM/MPMZM for DD are less accurate when maximal energy-efficiency is required. In particular, we introduce multiple variants of PAM4|8 DD and QAM16|64 COH MPMZMs, working out their accuracy vs. energy-efficiency-and-complexity tradeoffs, establishing their format-reconfigurability (format-flexible switching of constellation order and/or DD/COH).

Abstract In this paper we study the numerical performance of a parameter identification technique, based on approximation by equations with piecewise constant arguments, on various classes of hereditary systems. The examples considered here include delay equations with state-dependent delays and neutral equations.

The quadrature modulators and demodulators are widely used to create modern wireless communication systems. It is important to ensure high quality of the transmitted signals in order to have the exchange of information without loss or failure. From the point of view of the spectral decomposition of the signal (Fourier series decomposition), the useful component of the spectrum must be much larger than all other components. The carrier (LO frequency and spurious sideband are the most critical and undesirable quadrature modulator output signal spectral components. In the work, in the course of the research using the methods of suppressing the parasitic components, based on minimizing phase, amplitude and current imbalances in various nodes of the quadrature modulator circuit, have been revealed. In order to realize suppression, the special digital-to-analog converters are used in conjunction with a polyphase filter on varicaps, a phase-shifting block and current sources. The effectiveness of these methods is confirmed by the achievement of suppression of parasitic components in prototypes of 50 dB or more. It has been stated that the phase unbalance minimization is more effective than the amplitude unbalance minimization to sideband suppression. It has been revealed that the use of a phase-shifting block is a more suitable architecture to control the phase unbalance. The obtained results can be useful in the design of high-precision radio frequency units for various purposes.
