Power Amplifier Linearization Using an Indirect-learning-based Inverse TDNN Model

In this article, an effective digital predistortion procedure of data acquisition, analysis, modeling and linearization for high power amplifiers is presented, based on tapped delay neural networks (TDNN). Memory effects of high power RF amplifiers wer...
Current research studies are drawing more and more attention on the memory effects of high power amplifier linearization, especially for cellular base transceiver system applications. 1,2 Although many studies on power amplifier linearization have been conducted, linearization of strongly nonlinear systems with large memory, which exacerbates the performance of...

Design of Bias Tees for a Pulsed-bias, Pulsed-RF Test System Using Accurate Component Models

In this article, a design of custom bias tees to be used in a pulsed-bias, pulsed-RF measurement system is described. The bias tee design is such that the DC path allows bias pulses to pass through to the device unchanged, while still allowing RF measu...
This article describes the design of a bias tee for a pulsed-bias, pulsed-RF test system. The cut-off frequency of the DC path was raised to allow pulsing of the bias signal. The theory of bias tee design for pulsed measurements is first presented. The simulation results for the design...
