Multi-Stream Spatial Digital Predistortion for Fully-Connected Hybrid Beamforming Massive MIMO Transmitters
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, a novel multi-stream spatial digital predistortion (DPD) technique is proposed to model and linearize the fully-connected (FC) hybrid beamforming (HBF) transmitters. The proposed scheme solves the DPD implementation issue in the FC HBF array by estimating and linearizing the beam signals instead of the individual PAs. In FC HBF systems, significant intermodulation (IMD) between different transmit signals will be generated due to the analog beamforming and combining network upstream of the power amplifiers (PAs). The IMD beams will end up being radiated in different directions and some of them might fall in the linear beam directions. Therefore, multi-input DPD blocks using a practical multi-variable model are constructed for each RF chain to eliminate the complicated inner- and cross-channel IMDs of the beam signals. Simulations on a 4-stream 64-element FC HBF array and experimental tests on a 2-stream 4-element system are carried out to benchmark the proposed DPD technique against the conventional techniques. Better than 13 dB adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR) improvement and 12 dB normalized mean square error (NMSE) improvement have been achieved by the proposed DPD technique.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
