Abstract :
A linerization technique for reducing the third-order intermodulation products that uses simultaneous injection of the second harmonics at the amplifier input and output has been investigated in this paper. This technique was considered in theory and by simulation. The amplifier with the second harmonics components were designed and simulated using Agilent Design System (ADS) program. The linearization has been accomplished by adjusting the amplitudes and phases of the second harmonics on the optimal values. The analysis and results included in this paper relate to the case when an OFDM signal is at the amplifier input.
