title = "A source-pull/load-pull measurement system including power amplifier linearization using simple instantaneous memoryless polynomial base-band predistortion",
abstract = "In this paper, an original measurement system for non-linear power characterization is presented. This set-up enables optimization of output power or power added efficiency (PAE) in conjunction with transistor's linearization. The optimization of the fundamental impedances is performed using source-pull/load-pull measurements before a base-band predistortion is carried out. The linearization method for complex modulated carrier is based on the measurement of the instantaneous AM/AM characteristic and on the measurement of the AM/PM conversion. Therefore, an instantaneous memoryless polynomial base-band predistortion is obtained. Experimental results at 1.575 GHz for a commercial GaAs MESFET transistor biased in class AB show improvements equal to 15 dB and 5 dB for the C/I3 and ACPR values, respectively.",
