Popis: This paper investigates the processing techniques for non-linear high power amplifiers (HPA) using neural networks (NNs). Several applications are presented: Identification and Predistortion of the HPA. Various Neural Network structures are proposed to identify and predistort the HPA. Since a few decades, NNs have shown excellent performance in solving complex problems (like classification, recognition, etc.) but usually they suffer from slow convergence speed. Here, we propose to use the natural gradient instead of the classical ordinary gradient in order to enhance the convergence properties. Results are presented concerning identification and predistortion using classical and natural gradient. Practical implementations issues are given at the end of the paper.
