Background technique
When less radio-frequency power amplifier input signal amplitude is reached to a certain degree, the output of power amplifier will be saturated and occur
Nonlinear effect.Power amplifier is the most important nonlinear device of modern wireless communication systems, non-linear to cause to be distorted, and is caused
The decline of communication quality, the bit error rate increase, and interfere adjacent channel, so having to consider function when designing wireless communication system
Distortion caused by rate amplifier is non-linear, using certain method, such as back-off, linearization technique etc. is non-linear to reduce
Caused distortion.
Modem causes IQ imbalance and distortion to deteriorate seriously in broadband rf signal, because radio frequency band is wide,
Link-quality is influenced obvious.
