High-Linearity RF Amplifier Design

From the Publisher: Based on the author's real-world design experience in this key emerging area, this is the first single comprehensive guide to examine and directly compare all major RF power amplifier linearization techniques in detail. Packed with practical tips, more than 250 illustrations, and over 600 verified equations, the book saves you valuable design time while helping you avoid costly design errors. It covers the modeling and measurement of amplifier non-linearity, and describes the main methods for overcoming non-linearity in a wide range of applications, including: > base stations using feedforward and predistortion > mobile communications systems and handsets using RF or digital predistortion, cartesian loop, LINC and envelope elimination and restoration (EE&R ) > satellite systems using any of these techniques
