Abstract: With the increasing demand of wireless services,the transmitting signal bandwidth is increased.The RF Power Amplifier（PA）in the transmission path which so far have been modelled as frequency independent（without memory effects） show memory effects due to the large signal bandwidth.Adaptive baseband predistortion schemes for PA considering memory effects have became the key problem in the field of the PA linearization.In order to provide a better understanding of the technologies,this article presents a useful overview of the existing predistortion schemes for wideband PA.Several main memory predistorter models and the corresponding adaptive schemes are presented and analyzed,and the next research issues are finally discussed.
