Abstract
In this paper, a comprehensive study of the robustness of the digital predistortion function synthesis is presented. This study covers two aspects: the processing of the power amplifier (PA) input and output measured data intended for the extraction of the corresponding predistortion function, and the optimal setting of the predistorter's small-signal gain to adaptively track the average power variation between the input and output of the pre-distorter. First, the accuracy of the polynomial curve fitting and the lookup table's scheme in mimicking the measured AM/AM and AM/PM characteristics of the PA is investigated. To address the high dispersion of coefficients of the polynomial function, which limits the order that can be implemented and the fitting capabilities, a pre-processing technique is proposed. Second, the fitted PA curves are used to investigate the effects of the small-signal gain of the predistortion function on the linearization performance. An automated average power tracking technique is introduced in order to maintain a unit average gain of the predistorter. The measured spectra at the output of the amplifier show an additional 12-dBc improvement in the output spectrum regrowth.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
