"Equivalent Complex Baseband Model for Digital Transmitters Based on 1-bit Quadrature Pulse Encoding";
IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I: Regular Papers, vol 62 (2015), 11; 2739 - 2747.



English abstract:
In this paper an equivalent complex baseband representation of the analog component related non-linearity of digital transmitters relying on 1-bit complex baseband encoding is derived. By exploiting the properties of the pulsed RF encoding the novel behavioral modeling technique is able to represent accurately the non-linear memory effects of the power amplification stage. Furthermore, a band-limited kernel technique leads to more efficient modeling of the complete digital transmitter, and to relaxed sampling rate. For the parameter estimation the linear regression, common to Volterra model identification, can be employed. According to the simulation and measurement based verification results, the novel modeling technique excels the state-of-the-art in terms of modeling accuracy. It can be assumed that the given methodology serves both as a basis for future behavioral models and for the development of advanced encoding techniques for linearization purposes.
