✦ Synopsis

This article presents a strategy for enhancing efficiency in power amplifiers (PAs) by combining digital predistortion (DPD) linearization and clipping strategies for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signals in a WiMAX scenario. On the one hand, by reducing the peak-to-average power ratio of multicarrier signals using the well-known clipping technique, it is possible to perform a more efficient PA amplification. On the other hand, nonlinear and linear distortion introduced by the PA operating close to saturation is compensated by the baseband adaptive DPD linearizer. The DPD has to counteract not only the PA nonlinear behavior, but also its dynamics. A test-bench implementing a WiMAX transmitter was deployed to evaluate the possibilities for enhancing power efficiency while fulfilling the demanded linearity requirements. Experimental results showing the power efficiency and linearity enhancement achieved by the proposed strategy are provided. V

## Abstract In this article, we propose the wideband digital predistortion (WDPD) for a highly linear and efficient GaN HEMT Doherty power amplifier (DPA). The WDPD is composed of the memory less DPD and the memory system, which compensates for the memory effects to achieve a highly linear wideband

Digital Predistorter is a cost-effective solution to compensate for the nonlinear distortions appearing in the RF power amplifiers (PAs). The indirect learning scheme is widely implemented because of its flexibility to eliminate the requirement for building a closed-loop real time system, which dram
