consuming element in the mobile device, a high PA operational eciency is of paramount sig-
nicance. is eciency is impacted by the type of modulation format and the signal format.
Information bearing signals that have a high PAPR are not naturally amenable to the linear opera-
tion of the PA. e peak value of the amplication of the information bearing signal determines
the power consumption of the PA, which is subject to the silicon implementation constraints, in
terms of process and temperature conditions. To minimize the PA power consumption, it is of
critical importance that the PA is operating as eciently as possible. is eciency is impacted by
the type of modulation format and the signal format.
