A classification of methods for efficient power amplification of signals

Yves Louët and Jacques Palicot

SUPELEC, Avenue de la Boulaie, CS 47601, 35576 Cesson-Sévigné Cedex, France

Abstract This paper presents a classification of methods that have been proposed to address nonlinear power amplification of highly fluctuating signals in telecommunications. The classification proposed uses a tree-like representation wherein each branch refers to a group of methods that all have a common characteristic. By virtue of this representation, each node corresponds to a test used to discriminate between different methods. From top to bottom, these tests are “What is the target of the method?,”» Read the summary
