In wireless broadband communication systems, the inherent non-linearity of power amplifiers creates spectral growth beyond the signal bandwidth, which interferes with adjacent channels. It also causes distortions within the signal bandwidth. In this paper, we study five digital predistortion algorithms for linearising two different non-linear memory power amplifier models. The simulation results show that the proposed digital predistorter using different algorithms can improve the in-band distortion and out of band spreading in different ways. In particular, the DLMS algorithm with fast convergence can significantly suppress spectral regrowth (by 60dB), effectively compensating for the non-linearity of the power amplifier.
