Abstract
Next generation wireless communication systems
such as 5G will feature a step increase in the speed of wireless
data transmission. This requires using RF signals of wider
bandwidths along with higher order modulation schemes. Such
signals are subjected to frequency and power dependent
impairments such as gain compression, amplitude ripple and tilt,
group-delay and AM-PM conversion as they traverse through the
transmitter’s hardware blocks. This paper introduces a novel
calibration scheme that applies a specially designed wideband 64-
QAM modulated stimulus and uses the captured response to
evaluate the impairments within the transmitter’s RF chain. The
needed pre-compensation is applied in a single iteration. This
technique is intended for use with Doherty, Outphasing and
MIMO type applications. Presented technique was
experimentally validated using signal bandwidths up to 100 MHz
for both weakly and strongly nonlinear systems.
