Distortion coming out from the radiofrequency (RF) power amplifier should be taken into account in order to achieve the desired performance at the base station. In this paper, a complexity reduction technique based on a variable degree polynomial predistorter is proposed. The obtained results show that it is possible to achieve a reduction of operations with a penalty of 1.6 dB in ACLR and negligible impact on the EVM.2018http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/8612910.23919/EuMC.2018.8541801http://zaguan.unizar.es/record/86129oai:zaguan.unizar.es:86129info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN-FEDER/TEC2014-58341-C4-2-R2018 48th European Microwave Conference, EuMC 2018 18283196 (2018), 843 - 846All rights reservedhttp://www.europeana.eu/rights/rr-f/info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
