To improve the modeling accuracy and digital predistortion compensation effect, this paper proposed a kind of polynomial based spline adaptive filter (SAF) power amplifier (PA) behavioral modeling method. The proposed model can solve the shortcomings of the traditional memory polynomial model (MP), such as higher nonlinear order, highly coefficient calculation difficulty, poor hardware stability, low modeling accuracy and poor digital predistortion compensation. Meanwhile, the proposed SAF based model can avoid the pseudo-inversion operation of the matrix when calculating the coefficients through the indirect learning structure, which can improve the compensation effect of digital predistortion. In order to compare the performance of the different models, the modeling processes of original filtering model, MP model and dynamic variation reduction (Dynamic Deviation Reduction, DDR) model based on SAF method (OSAF, MPSAF, DDRSAF) are presented respectively. The proposed models are verified by a class F PA, which are stimulated by a set of measured input and output data of an LTE signal with 20 MHz bandwidth. The measured results shows that compared with the conventional MP model, the proposed DDRSAF model presents the best model performance and improves the modeling accuracy by 6.6dB while maintaining the similar computational complexity, and the ACPR compensation effect increases by 19.58dB and 20.47dB respectively, which have the important significance for practical engineering application.
