Abstract

This paper presents the integration of a band-limited memory polynomial (BL-MP) digital pre-distortion (DPD) model with low-resolution Σ-based feedback receivers, specifically targeting 6G FR3 carrier aggregation using a 400 MHz OFDM 64QAM signal. The performance is evaluated using two power amplifiers (PAs) - Doherty and Class AB - with distinct nonlinearity profiles. The study compares the Generalized Memory Polynomial (GMP) model with the BL-MP model. Significant improvements in error vector magnitude (EVM), approximately 0.7 dBm at the 3% threshold, are observed for both PAs relative to the GMP-LS model. Additionally, adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR) enhancements of around 7 dB are achieved, further surpassing GMP-LS performance. These findings demonstrate the adaptability and effectiveness of the BL-MP model, delivering substantial performance gains over conventional pre-distortion techniques across varied PA architectures.The results highlight the potential of employing a BL-MP DPD with a low-resolution feedback receiver, offering an optimal solution for DPD applications in 6G FR3.
