Abstract

See full text

Circuits and methods for achieving good amplifier AM-AM and AM-PM metrics while achieving good power, PAE, linearity, and EVM performance. Embodiments compensate for a non-linear distortion profile (e.g., an AM-PM and/or AM-AM profile) in an amplifier by pre-processing an input signal, such as a radio-frequency signal, to alter the non-linear distortion profile of the input signal so as to compensate for the non-linear distortion profile imposed by a coupled device, such as an amplifier. An inventive aspect includes linearizing an output from an amplifier having a first non-linear distortion profile, including passing an input signal having a second non-linear distortion profile through a reflective hybrid coupler to a non-linear termination circuit, and reflecting a modified input signal from the non-linear termination circuit back through the reflective hybrid coupler as an output signal, the output signal having a third non-linear distortion profile shaped to compensate for the first non-linear distortion profile.
