Spectrum Estimation at the Output of a Nonlinear Power Amplifier with Multicarrier Signals

This paper proposes an analytical expression of the PSD at the output of a power amplifier in the case of a multicarrier signal. The amplifier is characterized by a polynomial model and is supposed to be memoryless. This expression is validated by experimental measurements.
