Deep Neural Network Based Distortion Compensation for Doherty Amplifiers

Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) The problem with Doherty amplifiers, which are high-efficiency power amplifiers, is the occurrence of complex memory distortion. In this paper, we focus on digital pre-distortion (DPD) using deep neural networks (DNN) as a technology to compensate for memory distortion of Doherty amplifiers with high accuracy and investigate the effects of the number of learning parameters and neuron activation functions on the compensation performance of DNN-DPD. As a result of the evaluation using actual GaN (Gallium Nitride) Doherty amplifier, it is shown that DNN-DPD can achieve suppression performance that exceeds Volterra series based DPD by increasing the number of learning parameters. Futhermore, in order to improve the distortion compensation performance of DNN-DPD, it is important to select an appropriate activation function according to the number of learning parameters and it is shown that the ReLU function is more suitable for the activation function of DNN-DPD with more than 2000 learning parameters compared to the conventional sigmoid function.
