Abstract :
A new RF modified linear amplifier using nonlinear components (LINC) architecture for wireless communication links is proposed and evaluated in this work. The layout of the new architecture is presented and the simulation results are presented to show the performance under different operation conditions and channel types. Results show that the overall power efficiency of this architecture is improved by more than 400% when compared with that of the regular LINC amplifier architecture.
