Abstract

Single carrier M-APSK modulation technique is well used in satellite communication system due to the low PAPR so that the we can expect more resistance to the nonlinear distortion. Although TWTA has high amplification efficiency, it may produce serious non-linear distortion. Memory effect that can be observed in the very high speed data rate would be another harmful effect. In this paper, to compensate non-linear distortion efficiently in case of HPA model with the memory effect, we design adaptive predistorter using NLMS (normalized least mean square) algorithm. Through the simulation, we confirm that the predistorter using NLMS algorithm is able to improve the BER performance than existing pre-distorter.
