Comparison of Evaluation Criteria for Power Amplifier Behavioral Modeling

• In this paper different evaluation criteria for power amplifier behavioral modeling are studied and evaluated using measuremed data. The figure-of-merits are calculated from complex-envelope data of a sampled power amplifier intended for 3G. Both time- and frequency domain methods are included in the study. It is found that a model evaluation criterion should have ability to capture both the linear and nonlinear distortion as well as the memory effects in the power amplifier. The normalized mean square error (NMSE) and the weighted error-to-signal power ratio (WESPR) are found to be the strongest candidates for capturing the in-band and the out-of-band errors, respectively. Both are also independent of power amplifier technology and stimuli input.
