M. Burgosgarcia et F. Perezmartinez, SIMPLE PROCEDURE FOR OPTIMUM LINEARIZATION OF AMPLIFIERS IN MULTICARRIER APPLICATIONS, Electronics Letters, 30(2), 1994, pp. 114-115
Linearised amplifiers are generally designed with the goal of reducing
two-tone intermodulation. In multicarrier systems the signal entering
a broadband amplifier is quite different from this, being Gaussian di
stributed. The goal of optimising the S/I ratio produced with this kin
d of signal is usually rejected because of its complexity. A direct fo
rmula for S/I computation is obtained and used to optimise linearisati
on structures.
