contents In this paper, it is identified that lowering the reference level at the vector signal analyzer can significantly improve the performance of iterative learning control (ILC). We present a mathematical explanation for this phenomenon, where the signals experience logarithmic transform prior to analogue-to-digital conversion, resulting in non-uniform quantization. This process reduces the quantization noise of low-amplitude signals that constitute a substantial portion of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, thereby improving ILC performance. Measurement results show that compared to setting the reference level to the peak amplitude, lowering the reference level achieves 3 dB improvement on error vector magnitude (EVM) and 15 dB improvement on normalized mean square error (NMSE) for 320 MHz WiFi OFDM signals.
