Developing medium bandwidth signal chain systems must balance conflicting performance measures and fall within cost or power consumption requirements. Engineering such a solution can be complicated and lead to unexpected delays and extensive testing. But, using a signal chain platform—such as ADI Medium Bandwidth—can significantly reduce the complexity and time required to achieve a highly accurate, precise signal chain system.

This application note is a collaborative work between Cadence and Rohde & Schwarz and focuses on performance enhancements through linearization of non-linear devices as early as possible in the design process. Using an RF power amplifier (PA) as the reference, we discuss benefits which can be achieved with linearization techniques such as digital predistortion (DPD).

Learn about temperature drift in electronic circuits, namely in resistors and amplifiers. We'll also cover how the effect of flicker noise comes into play and how drift limits the effectiveness of signal averaging.
