Unlike traditional o ff -line structures, the proposed structure updates its weight parameters adaptively synchronizing with the power ampli fi er load impedance. Furthermore, this letter analyses with a MOSFET model and proves that the output conductance of MOSFET are relevant to nonlinearity of power ampli fi er with variable load impedance. To verify this structure and the analysis, a simulation on MATLAB Simulink was built using a N-channel MOSFET based on Shichman-Hodges model. Proposed on-line Digital Pre-Distortion structure signi fi cantly acquired better linearity performance with variable load impedance than conventional o ff -line structures.","PeriodicalId":364041,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Electronic Express","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123499940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To achieve excellent impedance matching, a grounded matching stub is introduced in this design. For demonstration, a prototype with extremely compact size (22 × 22mm) is fabricated and measured. The measured re fl ection coe ffi cients below 10-dB is almost 15MHz centered at 1268MHz. Omni-directional radiation pattern of the proposed antenna is realized. Additionally, stable signal reception under various motion attitudes could also be proved by experiments.","PeriodicalId":364041,"journal":{"name":"IEICE Electronic Express","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133288592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
