摘要: Digital radio communications uses nowadays different modulation schemes with high data rate possibilities. Designing a multi-standard linearized transmitter is an interesting goal for which OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplex) the worst case at moment. Transmission of multi-carrier signals like ones are subject to dynamic variation, quantified by PAPR (Peak Average Power Ratio) signal property. Nonlinearities occurring power amplification part implies be preserving information integrity. This paper presents new RF architecture based on both EER and LINC techniques. The cancel influence as soon possible in steps transmitter. In order maintain overall efficiency, use switched PAs promoted, thanks constant (envelope) property proposed EER-LINC method. New circuit designs necessary, comparison classical solutions discussed.
