Abstract :
This paper demonstrated the potential of the novel technique of the active predistortion linearisation. In comparison to the competitive methods, the proposed technique has the distinct advantage of reducing all the components of IMD distortion uniformly and over a wide frequency range, without significantly affecting the power efficiency
