A 2-D Simplified Memory Polynomial Model for Concurrent Dual-Band Power Amplifiers

A 2-D simplified memory polynomial (2D-SMP) model is proposed for concurrent dual-band power amplifiers (PAs) in this letter. The derivation of the proposed model is similar to that of the 2-D modified memory polynomial (2D-MMP) model. The 2D-SMP model consists of an in-band part and a cross-band modulation part without the envelope factors, which exist in the 2D-MMP model. Theoretical analysis shows that it has moderate complexity but higher modeling accuracy than the 2D-MMP model. The simple least square algorithm can be used to extract the model coefficients, and the additional binary search algorithm for the best envelope factor is not needed. The experimental results show that the 2D-SMP model can achieve higher model accuracy and better digital predistortion (DPD) performance than the 2D-MMP model when a dual-band PA is excited by a combined dual-band long-term evolution signal.
