- Abstract
- We present two types of new predistortion linearizers using low-frequency even-order components. One adopts an in-phase and quardrature balanced modulator as a generator of the third-order intermodulation (IM3) and fifth-order intermodulation (IM5) components and the other adopts a double-balanced diode mixer. Both types are very compact and could independently control the amplitudes and phases of the intermodulation (IM) components. We have analyzed the delay mismatch effect of these predistortion circuits. The result shows that the IM5 components are twice as sensitive than the third ones. Two types of predistorters are implemented and tested at the International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 band. Two tone test results show that the IM3 cancellation is about 23-25 dB and the IM5 is cancelled by about 12-20 dB for both cases. The adjacent channel power ratio is improved by over 11 dB at the broad-band CDMA signal with a chip rate of 4.096 Mc/s, and this improvement is maintained through a broad range of output power level.
