Dr John Wood, Owner and Technical Consultant, Obsidian Microwave, LLC, USA is teaching this 3-day course that explains nonlinear behavior of RF power amplifiers, and developing general modeling techniques to describe the nonlinearities & memory effects.
Linearization of power amplifiers has become an essential requirement since the introduction of 3G wireless communications systems. With 5G about to make its mark with massive MIMO, multi-band, and millimetre-wave systems, bringing a number of new challenges for PA linearization. Come and find out about the fundamentals of these techniques and what is required for the next generation.
