Parameter-Efficient Temporal Convolutional Networks for Wideband Digital Predistortion

Conference paper (2025) - Huanqiang Duan, Manno Versluis, Qinyu Chen, Leo C.N. De Vreede, Chang Gao
Digital predistortion (DPD) is essential for mitigating nonlinearity in RF power amplifiers, particularly for wideband applications. This paper presents TCN-DPD, a parameter-efficient architecture based on temporal convolutional networks, integrating noncausal dilated convolutions with optimized activation functions. Evaluated on the OpenDPD framework with the DPA_200 MHz dataset, TCN-DPD achieves simulated ACPRs of -51.58 /-49.26dBc (L/R), EVM of -47.52 dB, and NMSE of -44.61 dB with 500 parameters and maintain superior linearization than prior models down to 200 parameters, making it promising for efficient wideband PA linearization. ...
