Design of a Microwave Group Delay Time Adjuster and Its Application to a Feedforward Power Amplifier

This article presents a design method for a microwave group delay time adjuster (GDTA) and its application to a feedforward (FFW) power amplifier (PA). The GDTA consists of a variable capacitor and a variable equivalent inductor. The variable equivalen...
As linear modulation and demodulation is adopted in communication systems for spectrum efficiency, the system performance is limited due to nonlinearity, particularly in the power amplifier. The nonlinearity of a system can be explained as AM-AM, AM-PM, intermodulation distortion (IMD) and adjacent channel leakage ratio (ACLR). Several linearizing techniques...
