This kind of amplifier has the most critical characteristicsdue to no one-to-one AM/AM conversion (no bijection) <strong>and</strong> the AM/PM conversion.In Figure 4-61, the normalized characteristics of a TWTA are illustrated. The AM/PMconversion versus the normalized input amplitude is given in radians.Solid State Power Amplifier (SSPA)For this type of amplifier the AM/AM <strong>and</strong> AM/PM conversions are given with somespecific parameters as follows [72, 80]:It can be seen that the SSPA adds no phase distortion.r n (t)R n (t) =(1 + rn 10(t))1/10φ(t) = ϕ(t) (4.90)Influence of HPA Non-linearityDS-CDMAAfter spreading with Gold codes [26] <strong>and</strong> BPSK modulation, the overall transmitted signalx(t) is obtained. For low OBO values, the signal y(t) at the output of the amplifier ishighly disturbed, which, after the receive filter h(t), leads to a non-linear channel withmemory characterized by wrapped output chips containing clusters, resulting in inter-chipinterference.Figure 4-62 shows the amplitude distribution (derived by simulations) of the filteredsignal before the HPA for the uplink with spreading code length L = 63 <strong>and</strong> energy per
