Research on Nonlinear Modeling for RF Power Amplifier

The research of radio-frequency (RF) power amplifier model has always been one of the most important breakthroughs in the emitter feature extraction and specific emitter identification. Through the establishment of RF power amplifier model, we can extract feature parameters of the specific emitter. In this paper, we discuss the research issues of the specific emitter feature extraction and individual identification based on RF power amplifier nonlinear model, summarize the nonlinear distortion and modeling method of the power amplifier. Furthermore, we analyzed the applicability of these models.
