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).

The fundamental challenge for 5G RF front end developers is to ensure proper RF performance with respect to frequency coverage and output power while optimizing energy efficiency. In the development of active components, the first opportunity to investigate your RF design is by testing it right after fabrication of the wafer.
