In this paper, a software-defined radio (SDR) based transceiver system is designed and implemented on the system-on-chip (SoC) platform, which consists of a high-speed Arm embedded processor and a reconfigurable field-programmable gate array (FPGA). In the proposed SDR transceiver, the real-time baseband signal generation and adaptive digital predistortion (ADPD) units are implemented on the SoC platform. Memory polynomial model based ADPD solution is implemented to linearize the radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PAs). The implementation of the ADPD on a reconfigurable FPGA platform makes the system flexible and cost-effective. The PA characterization, in terms of model extraction and coefficient calculation, is done in real-time. These calculated coefficients are updated in the transmission path to precondition the transmitted signal before it is applied to the PA. The proposed ADPD is applied at the baseband level. Therefore, it can be used for different classes of PA operating at different RF carrier frequencies. A long-term evolution (LTE) signal with 20 MHz bandwidth and 11 dB peak to average power ratio (PAPR) is used for simulation and measurement purposes. The LTE signal is amplified using a GaN-based harmonically tuned continuous Class-F PA in measurement. The performance of the implemented ADPD scheme is analyzed in terms of NMSE, ACPR and EVM.
