Abstract

See full text

A predistortion linearizer for microwave power amplifiers has a linear channel and a non-linear channel. Both channels are made up of the same units. Each channel includes a variable phase-shifter, a variable attenuator and an amplifier. Each channel can further include a fixed attenuator. The two channels are coupled at their ends by couplers each introducing a phase-shift of 90.degree. so that the total phase-shift is 180.degree.. Because the components of the two channels are the same, any variations with the frequency or the amplitude of the signal or with the operating temperature cancel out. The linearizer has applications in telecommunications and in particular in multicarrier systems.
