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.
