The linearization of active electronic components such as the PA or the ADC, is a vast subject. Many issues come into play, including behavioral modeling with the selection of a relevant model in terms of accuracy and complexity, the identification of this model, and the correction of defects by compensation. In this article, we propose a baseband model of nonlinearity defects observed at the digitization output and after IQ demodulation, with a focus on order 3 intermodulation. We then introduce a refinement of this model by adding a dependence on the variation of the instantaneous frequency of the signal. We describe a method suitable for calibration of the model, by identification on a two-tone signal. We finally present a measurement bench adapted to the calibration of the coefficients of the model, followed by some results of linearization.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
