Summary:In this paper, di_erent numerical methods to calculate the optimum coe_cients in the Volterra Series are introduced to analyze the performance of a Digital Predistorter (DPD) for Power Amplifier (PA) with memory. The adaptive algorithms used are Least Mean Square (LMS), Normalized LMS (NLMS), Variable Step Size (VSS), and the VSS modified. The parameters in the Volterra Model are typically calculated based on the mean square error criteria, then in this paper we compare alternatives to reduce the complexity, number of operations, and the time in the linearization of PA through DPD measured with the OFDM signal. The simulation results show that the VSS algorithm is faster and e_ective to calculate the parameters in the Volterra model.
