OpenDPD

Model a power amplifier. Train a digital predistorter. Understand the result.

OpenDPD is a PyTorch framework for power amplifier (PA) modeling and digital predistortion (DPD), developed by the Efficient Machine Intelligence Lab at TU Delft. Use OpenDPD Studio in the browser or locally for a guided workflow, or automate experiments with the CLI and Python API. All three use the original OpenDPD training core.

What's new

OpenDPD 2.2.10 improves Studio security and reliability: bounded uploads, faster built-in dataset browsing, safer worker startup, and hardened publishing and hosted services. Signal Analyzer supports real or complex CSV signals and connects directly to Signal Generator and Virtual PA.

Signal Generator → PA Library → PA training → DPD training/testing. Generate a PA input, simulate its output with one of nine Virtual PAs, or use existing input/output data. Standard presets remain uncoded engineering stimuli; Wi-Fi 8 is experimental.

Get started with Studio

Use Studio on the web, or install locally:

1. Install uv (then open a new terminal).

macOS / Linux:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Windows PowerShell:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex"

2. Create an environment, install, and launch (same commands on all three platforms):

mkdir opendpd-lab
cd opendpd-lab
uv venv --python 3.12
uv pip install --python .venv "opendpd==2.2.10" --torch-backend=auto
uv run --no-project --python .venv opendpd gui

PyTorch, Studio and pywebview install together; no Node.js is needed. uv selects a PyTorch backend for the detected platform/drivers. Studio prefers available CUDA or Apple MPS, then CPU. Keep the terminal running. A 127.0.0.1 link opens on the computer running OpenDPD; for SSH, use the port-forwarding instructions.

Click Get Started → Signal Generator, or Use an existing dataset. See Installation for drivers, Linux system libraries, native-window troubleshooting and pip; Studio walkthrough for your first experiment.

git clone https://github.com/lab-emi/OpenDPD.git
cd OpenDPD
uv venv --python 3.12
uv pip install --python .venv -e ".[dev]" --torch-backend=auto
npm --prefix frontend ci
npm --prefix frontend run build
uv run --no-project --python .venv opendpd gui

The PA → DPD workflow

A DPD result evaluated through a PA model is a simulation. Exported u = DPD(x) is the PA input; a physical PA measurement is needed to establish measured linearization performance. See the Studio walkthrough and measured DPD guide.
