  Abstract

We propose a new scheme combining the compensation of HPA nonlinearity and the calibration of the path imperfections in the downlink OFDM smart antenna systems. We use a two term third-order polynomial (without second-order term) and the feedforward method for compensation and calibration to make each path of the antenna array have equal characteristics. Since the proposed scheme does not alter the base-band signal, it can be applied to the smart antenna system independently of the base-band signal processing section. The result of computer simulations shows that, with the addition of only one third-order term, the adverse nonlinear effects can be effectively compensated, and the those of linear imperfections can be calibrated as well.
