Hardware Implementation of IDP and LINC Methods Using Real Power Amplifiers

Linearization and peak to average power ration reduction are two classical operations when non-linear power amplifiers (PA) are used. If only PA linearization is considered, the high crest factor (PAPR) of the amplified signal causes saturation when input power is higher than the PA saturation power. If only PAPR reduction is implemented alone, PA non-linearities will degrade the signal at low inp...
