Truly aliasing-free digital RF-PWM power coding scheme for switched-mode power amplifiers
This paper presents a novel method for multilevel power coding and upconversion to RF frequency, by the means of a digital radio-frequency pulse width modulation (RF-PWM). Delta-sigma modulation (ΔΣM) and memoryless predistortion are used to mitigate spectral aliasing effects, inherent to digital RF-PWM operation, and achieve high linearity of the transmitter. In this method, time-domain characterization of a multilevel digital RF-PWM was fully exploited in order to provide optimal parameter selection for the ΔΣM, which in turn enables aliasing-free digital RF-PWM that runs at reasonable clock speeds. Experiments with an arbitrary waveform generator are used to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed novel power encoding scheme. The novel algorithm offers in-band SNR of —45dB, while maintaining coding efficiency of about 55%, for a 20MHz-bandwidth 64QAM signal, while mere RF-PWM, running at the same clock speed, can achieve SNR of only — 10dB.
