OFDM technology has become the core technology of DTMB system. The high Doherty power amplifier can effectively improve the peak-average power ratio of OFDM system, but with poor linear performance. This paper starts with improving linear performance of Doherty power amplifier, analyzes the nonlinear model of power amplifier, presents a construction method of nonlinear performance model of Doherty power amplifier, gets the corresponding nonlinear performance curve, and then presents a design of pre-distorter which can improve system linear performance. The nonlinear performance curve is used to do the simulation. The result shows that the system linear performance is improved greatly.
