AI-Enabled Digital Pre-Distortion

Explore an AI-based Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) toolflow for FPGA design, showing how engineers can build, train, and evaluate neural-network DPD models in a single development environment. The video walks through generating 5G data, comparing traditional non-AI DPD and AI-based approaches, adjusting model structure and precision, and measuring key RF linearization metrics such as ACPR and EVM alongside FPGA resource tradeoffs like LUT usage and memory bits. This workflow is highly relevant to the wireless, communications, and satellite market because DPD is a core technique for improving power amplifier linearity and efficiency in RF transmit chains. For 5G/6G infrastructure, software-defined radios, phased arrays, and satcom systems, FPGA-based AI DPD can help increase spectral efficiency, reduce distortion, optimize power consumption, and balance algorithm performance against hardware cost. The result is a practical view of how FPGAs enable adaptable, high-performance signal processing for modern communications systems.
