Abstract :
The trend in the design of linearizers has been to integrate more and more functions with the basic distortion correction element. This paper discusses the latest development in this trend: the combining of the linearizer with the block up converter (BUC) into a single functional LBUC module. This paper will discuss the advantages of combining a BUC with a linearizer and describe an LBUC developed for a Ka-band SATCOM application.
