    摘要: The non-linear behavior of power amplifier is linearized using a pre-distorter that is adaptive to changes in the behavior of the power amplifier and uses an artificial neural network. According to embodiments presented here, the pre-distorter's artificial neural network is model-trained from time to time to learn the inverse of the transfer function of the power amplifier by using a second pre-distorter modeling system. The second modeling system determines the parameters of the inverse of the transfer function of the power amplifier using a least square method by using the (un-distorted) output signal samples of the power amplifier. Using the output of the second system as output to train the neural network enables the neural network to more successfully linearize the power amplifier's behavior. Furthermore, the trained artificial neural network as the pre-distorter can be implemented in hardware and presents a small form factor.
