Abstract

A hybrid multicarrier RF power amplifier linearization architecture combines ACT and feed-forward amplifier stages to achieve high output distortion rejection and enhanced amplifier linearity. A carrier cancellation loop is coupled with a main RF power amplifier stage having parallel RF power amplifiers coupled via intermod-complementing predistortion paths. The carrier cancellation loop is coupled to a feed-forward loop containing a feed-forward RF power amplifier, to produce a composite amplified output signal having very reduced intermodulation products. Vector modulators in the main amplifier and feed-forward amplifier stages are controlled by a digital signal processor, using outputs from various monitoring subsystems, including pilot tone detection, correlator, distortion and power detector circuits.
