Symbol-Based Supervised Learning Predistortion for Compensating Transmitter Nonlinearity

We experimentally demonstrate a symbol-based nonlinear digital predistortion (DPD) technique utilizing supervised learning, which is robust against a change of modulation format. Back-to-back transmission of 30 Gbaud 32, 64 and 256QAM confirms that our scheme significantly outperforms the baseline of arcsine-based predistortion.
