A General Architecture for Behavior Modeling of Nonlinear Power Amplifier using Deep Convolutional Neural Network
Nonlinearity of power amplifier is one of the major limitations to the
achievable capacity in wireless transmission systems. Nonlinear impairments are
determined by the nonlinear distortions of the power amplifier and modulator
imperfections. The Volterra model, several compact Volterra models and neural
network models to establish a nonlinear model of power amplifier have all been
demonstrated. However, the computational cost of these models increases and
their implementation demands more signal processing resources as the signal
bandwidth gets wider or the number of carrier aggregation. A completely
different approach uses deep convolutional neural network to learn from the
training data to figure out the nonlinear distortion. In this work, a low
complexity, general architecture based on the deep real-valued convolutional
neural network (DRVCNN) is proposed to build the nonlinear behavior of the
power amplifier. With each of the multiple inputs equivalent to an input
vector, the DRVCNN tensor weights are constructed from training data thanks to
the current and historical envelope-dependent terms, I, and Q, which are
components of the input. The effectiveness of the general framework in modeling
single-carrier and multi-carrier power amplifiers is verified
On the Performance of Splitting Receiver with Joint Coherent and Non-Coherent Processing
In this paper, we revisit a recently proposed receiver design, named the
splitting receiver, which jointly uses coherent and non-coherent processing for
signal detection. By considering an improved signal model for the splitting
receiver as compared to the original study in the literature, we conduct a
performance analysis on the achievable data rate under Gaussian signaling and
obtain a fundamentally different result on the performance gain of the
splitting receiver over traditional receiver designs that use either coherent
or non-coherent processing alone. Specifically, the original study ignored the
antenna noise and concluded on a 50% gain in achievable data rate in the high
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) regime. In contrast, we include the antenna noise
in the signal model and show that the splitting receiver improves the
achievable data rate by a constant gap in the high SNR regime. This represents
an important correction of the theoretical understanding on the performance of
the splitting receiver. In addition, we examine the maximum-likelihood
detection and derive a low-complexity detection rule for the splitting receiver
for practical modulation schemes. Our numerical results give further insights
into the conditions under which the splitting receiver achieves significant
gains in terms of either achievable data rate or detection error probability.Comment: This work has been accepted by IEEE Transactions on Signal
