Abstract :
A novel microwave LINC lineariser scheme is presented. The proposed implementation is suited for the RF section of typical microwave transmitter and could be useful when there is no access to the baseband circuitry. It´s main characteristic is based on the predistortion of the gain law of a typical variable gain amplifier. The proposed solution is suited for a compact microwave circuit realisation
