Power effiCienCy in wireless CommuniCations
improvement for reducing the distortion is at the expense of the
gain of the power amplifier and also the feedback method loses
bandwidth because of a long, high delay to find the predistortion
function.
6.2.2 Linear Amplification with Nonlinear Components
Linear amplification with nonlinear components (LINC) is different
from the other techniques of linearization for PAs because there is
no feedback from the output of the PA. e PA can be highly non-
linear. e theory of operation is that baseband processing has a
gain and phase modulated input signal, and generates two wideband
modulated signals. ese ...
