Linearization of power amplifiers for active feedback

Abstract

This paper describes the work developed under thePh.D. course of its author [I]. It is devided in four main partswhich refer to the motivation, theoretical background ofamplifier linearization circuits design, GaAs MESFETmodeling, and finally, experimental validation. That wasacheived by the design and test of a MMIC power amplifier, linearized by means of active feedback.
