Abstract
The aim of this paper is to improve the linearity of an envelope tracking (ET) power amplifier (PA) using a simple baseband linearisation approach (BLA), which releases the requirement for the ET-customised digital predistortion (DPD) techniques. The proposed BLA is verified through the comparative study on a Gallium Nitride (GaN) PA with ET and a 28V supply voltage. A two-tone signal and a 20MHz modulated signal are used in the measurement, which demonstrates that in contrast to the 28 V case, the ET PA using BLA can simultaneously achieve higher efficiency and better linearity. To investigate the linearity improvement of using BLA, the constellation diagrams, AM/AM and AM/PM characteristics with and without generalized memory polynomial (GMP)-based DPD are measured and analysed.
