A detailed treatment of EDGE (enhanced data rates for GSM evolution) and its critical role in the development of the mobile Internet. The resource explains how this global radio based high-speed mobile data standard can be introduced into today's networks, improving data transmission speeds to support multimedia services. It is designed to enable practitioners to become knowledgeable of EDGE specifications and covers concepts pertaining to several domains, including RF (radio frequency), signal processing, digital communications and communication networks....

A treatment of distortion in RF power amplifiers. It seeks to offer guidance on designing easily linearizable systems that have low memory effects. The reader is offered a detailed understanding of how the matching impedances of a power amplifier and other RF circuits can be tuned to minimize overall distortion. It also demonstrates how to build models that can be used for distortion simulations. The measurement methodology should enable the reader to gauge the amplitude and phase of distortion components and recognize memory effects. The volume explains that by killing memory effects, it is possible to use simple linearizers, such as analogue predistortion, and still achieve sufficient performance. It presents a distortion analysis technique that al...
