Broadband DSP based feedforward amplifier lineariser

The performance of the feedforward linearisation technique begins to degrade for signals with very wide bandwidths due to the non-ideal amplitude and phase frequency response of the components. By implementing part of the lineariser in a digital signal processor (DSP), a digital equaliser can be used to compensate for the nonideal behaviour and improve the cancellation in the first loop.
