Popis: If sampling frequency is not high enough, the efiect of adaptive memory polynomial predistortion linearizer is not very good for TWTA linearization. In order to keep the adaptive memory polynomial predistortion linearizer valid, usually the output power level of the TWTA must be reduced, which corresponds to a reduced e-ciency of the TWTA. In this paper, we present a digital predistortion linearizer by combining LUT (Look-Up-Table) and memory-efiect compensation technique, which may provide good linear performance with less reduction of the output power and relatively low sampling frequency. The results of simulations and experiments show that good linearity improvement can be reached for an X-band TWTA with this predistortion linearizer.
