Overview
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

Booknews
Kenington (a corporate technology developer and systems designer) provides a thorough treatment of linear radio frequency amplifier design, organizing the topic into eight main sections, beginning with an introduction to distortion, the requirement for linearity, power efficiency, the effect of nonlinearity on a W-CDMA system, and the requirement for linearity in adaptive antenna systems. The sections that follow address distortion in amplifiers; RF amplifier design; feedback linearization techniques; feedforward linearization; predistortion linearization; linear transmitters employing signal processing; and efficiency boosting systems.
