This video is the DML presentation by Besser Associates instructor Dr. John Wood and focuses on digital predistortion for power amplifiers used in modern wireless.
Instructor John Wood has co-authored an article on the history of RF power amplifier linearization strategies. A membership in the IEEE MTT society is required for free access to the article.
Instructor Earl McCune's presentation from the 2014 IEEE MTT symposium in Phoenix, AZ is available for downloading from the IEEE website. This presentation looks at the problem of providing high efficiency and linearity from a power transistor at the same time.
Instructor Earl McCune has written a new book on envelope tracking for power amplifiers. Look for him to teach a course on the topic with Besser Associates as well.
Wireless voice and data communications have made great improvements, with connectivity now virtually ubiquitous. Users are demanding essentially perfect transmission and reception of voice and data. The infrastructure that supports this wide connectivity and nearly error-free delivery of information is complex, costly, and continually being improved.
