Abstract
Disclosed is an apparatus and method for modeling and estimating the characteristics of a power amplifier. A predistortion module generates a predistorted signal in response to a predistortion function and an input signal. A power amplifier receives the predistorted signal and generates an output signal. A polynomial module generates coefficients of a complex polynomial of order p (p is an integer greater than one) in response to the predistorted signal and the output signal. In particular, the complex polynomial is implemented with both even and odd terms, thereby improving the ability to accurately model the power amplifier.
