Efficiency improvement in microwave power amplifiers by using complex gain predistortion technique
Power Amplifiers (PAs) are important parts of the transmitters. They amplify the signals that are going to be transmitted. With increasing the input power of the PA, it creates the nonlinearity at the output. The nonlinearity causes out of band distortion and in band distortion. To overcome these ef...
