The adaptive digital predistortion is currently widely
used to compensate for the nonlinearities. Usually the observing
(feedback) path of the predistorter is required to be very
accurate. That means it is compensated for any radio frequency
front-end imperfections.
In this paper we demonstrate that recently proposed (realvalued)
digital predistortion algorithm employing only one of
the signals in the quadrature pair implies the reduced sensitivity
of the predistorter adaptation to the I/Q modulator imbalance in
the feedback path. The lower sensitivity is demonstrated using
both simulation as well as by an experiment conducted using
the mm-Wave setup with integrated direct-conversion transceiver
with important imbalances in both transmitting (Tx) as well as
in receiving (Rx) path.
