| contents | Digital Pre-Distortion (DPD) enhances signal quality in wideband RF power amplifiers (PAs). As signal bandwidths expand in modern radio systems, DPD's energy consumption increasingly impacts overall system efficiency. Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) offer promising advancements in DPD, yet their high complexity hinders their practical deployment. This paper introduces open-source mixed-precision (MP) neural networks that employ quantized low-precision fixed-point parameters for energy-efficient DPD. This approach reduces computational complexity and memory footprint, thereby lowering power consumption without compromising linearization efficacy. Applied to a 160MHz-BW 1024-QAM OFDM signal from a digital RF PA, MP-DPD gives no performance loss against 32-bit floating-point precision DPDs, while achieving -43.75 (L)/-45.27 (R) dBc in Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR) and -38.72 dB in Error Vector Magnitude (EVM). A 16-bit fixed-point-precision MP-DPD enables a 2.8X reduction in estimated inference power. The PyTorch learning and testing code is publicly available at \url{https://github.com/lab-emi/OpenDPD}. |
