Detailed Documentation

During my doctoral research, I developed MATLAB simulations for Digital Predistortion (DPD) algorithms. The implementation includes three fundamental models: Volterra series (capturing memory effects in nonlinear systems), Saleh model (analytical representation of amplifier nonlinearity), and polynomial-based predistortion. The simulation source code provides practical implementations of these algorithms, demonstrating key aspects such as coefficient extraction using least-squares methods, inverse model construction, and linearization performance evaluation. Through systematic analysis of these algorithm implementations, I gained deep insights into DPD principles including nonlinear system modeling, parameter identification techniques, and real-world applications in RF power amplifier linearization for wireless communication systems.
