چکیده
RF and microwave power amplifiers and transmitters are used in a wide variety of applications including wireless communication, jamming, imaging, radar, and RF heating. This article provides an introduction and historical background for the subject, and begins the technical discussion with material on signals, linearity, efficiency, and RF-power devices. At the end, there is a convenient summary of the acronyms used—this will be provided with all four installments. Author affiliations and contact information are also provided at the end of each part.

FPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...

متن کاملPredistortion for Nonlinear Power Amplifiers with Memory
The fusion of voice and data applications, along with the demand for high data-rate applications such as video-on-demand, is making radio frequency (RF) spectrum an increasingly expensive commodity for current and future communications. Although bandwidth-efficient digital modulation alleviates part of the problem by requiring a minimal use of spectral resources, they put an extra design burden...
متن کاملRadio frequency analog electronics based on carbon nanotube transistors.
The potential to exploit single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) in advanced electronics represents a continuing, major source of interest in these materials. However, scalable integration of SWNTs into circuits is challenging because of difficulties in controlling the geometries, spatial positions, and electronic properties of individual tubes. We have implemented solutions to some of these cha...
