Abstract

The IMP distortion occurring with the amplification of OFDM signals through a nonlinear RF power amplifier (PA) is analysed with a view to establishing internal relations and impairment significance of different types and combinations - composition categories- of IMPS. Through this, a novel estimation method was deduced to calculate power spectral densities (PSD) of nonlinear distortion. This method also helps expose some PA independent and operating point (OP) independent characteristics of PSD of nonlinear distortion. The simulation and analysis is based on the use of an IEEE 802.11a OFDM signal and a nonlinear PA model is derived from envelope characteristic measurements of an X-band and S-band GaN power amplifier.
