Wideband millimeter wave and terahertz systems face severe nonlinearity and other practical impairments such as transmitter and receiver in-phase/quadrature imbalances (IQIs), carrier frequency offset, and phase noise. Based on a simplified yet effective received signal model including an expanded memory polynomial (EMP) and a noisy receiver filter, this paper proposes a low-complexity digital post-cancellation (DPC) framework for transmitter IQI and overall system nonlinearity mitigation. The nonlinearity parameters with reduced nonlinearity order are firstly estimated with low-complexity using a novel transmission protocol incorporating both frame rotation and preamble power scaling. Through widely linear system equalization and interference cancellation, the signal distortion caused by frequency-dependent IQI and nonlinearity is then mitigated with significant performance improvement. The mean-squared-error measurement of the EMP-modelled signals also provides a practical means for the nonlinear system identification and characterization. Both simulation and experiment results obtained from a millimeter wave system with 2.125 GHz bandwidth and 73.5 GHz carrier frequency are presented to verify the theoretical analyses and demonstrate the effectiveness of the DPC technology.
