Abstract

Nonlinear distortion is generated when signals are driven through nonlinear power amplifiers (PAs), and it is a major degradation in orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) like multi-carrier signal transmitter systems. The nonlinearity of PAs is mostly evaluated by three measures, i.e., 1dB compression point (P1dB), the 3rd order intercept point (IP3), and percentage linearity (PL). In this paper, the interrelationship between these three measures of PA nonlinearity are derived by using a truncated complex power series model.
