A new digital predistortion (DPD) technique is presented for the linearization of RF power amplifiers (PAs) for wideband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals. The proposed DPD technique employs the phase correction term to compensate for the frequency dependent AM-PM distortion of PAs, considering the wide bandwidth of OFDM signal. The simulation shows that the proposed DPD technique can significantly improve the error vector magnitude (EVM) performance of RF PAs.
