DESIGN, DEVELOP, AND FABRICATE AN ABOVE 3RD ORDER ADAPTIVE AND/OR DIGITAL PRE-DISTORTION LINEARIZATION SOLUTION TO IMPROVE ARTIFACTS OF INTRINSIC PA NONLINEARITIES. LINEARIZER SOLUTION SHALL ENABLE POWER AMPLIFIERS TO OPERATE WITH LESS THAN 1.5 DB (THRESHOLD) | ~0 DB (OBJECTIVE) OUTPUT POWER BACK OFF, LESS THAN 2.5 DEG/DB AM-PM, AND GREATER THAN -40 DB (THRESHOLD) | -50 DB ACPR (OBJECTIVE) [WHERE THE CARRIER SIDE BAND IS DEFINED BETWEEN +/- 1-1.5 TIMES THE SYMBOL RATE]. IT CAN BE ASSUMED THAT THE WAVEFORM WILL BE AN M-ARY PSK CLASS WAVEFORM, WITH MAXIMUM BANDWIDTH OF 26 MHZ (OBJECTIVE) | 52 MHZ (THRESHOLD). THE WAVEFORM BANDWIDTH IS INDEPENDENT OF OVERALL LINEARIZATION BANDWIDTH. LINEARIZATION BANDWIDTH SHALL BE TRADED FOR OVERALL LINEARIZATION PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT, WITH A 250 MHZ (THRESHOLD) AND 1 GHZ (OBJECTIVE). THE LINEARIZER SOLUTION WILL BE CAPABLE OF OPERATING ON A 30-31 GHZ AND 43.5- 45.5 GHZ PA, NOT NECESSARILY SIMULTANEOUSLY. IT IS DESIRED THAT SOLUTION IS PORTABLE (STAND-ALONE), AND CAN BE INTEGRATED INTO OTHER PA APPLICATIONS.
