Not exactly Motorola transistor related but the subject reminded me of this: AC2IQ has developed an interesting pre-distortion "linearizer." http://www.qrz.com/db/AC2IQ Linearizers have been used in

Hi Paul.. Check out US Patent 4588958 by Allen Katz K2UYH. It's a common way to linearize solid state PAs for the cellular market back in the day. The basic idea is to emulate the compression curve o

As long as the transceiver manufacturers give us transceivers with poor IMD, it does little good to get the IMD on the amplifier good, unless you home brew your own transceiver. Tom W0IVJ On 5/3/2013

This may change as more users become accustomed to using their SDR displays for diagnostic purposes, especially when the SDR in use is a direct DDC type. When using a device like the SDR-IQ and QS1R,

THIS (below) is why many insightful hams have PA's capable of "illegal power output". They run them backed off 3 or 4 dB and have nice clean signals while those around them with the latest "1.5KW" un

The problem is that manufacturers are not going to be able to produce a "low end transceiver" - at least at the low end price point - that has all the features demanded by the marketplace. The techno

It seems to me that many of the newer transceivers have receiver sections that are getting pretty good. If their less than 20 over and you hear splatter you can be pretty sure it's them and not your

IIRC, back in the old days of SSB, it was recommended to run one's exciter at maximum output and swamp the excess drive with a resistive pad. The reason was that the exciters obtained their maximum c

You have a point, Joe; both transmitters and receivers fall into different classes of performance depending on the price range. But there is still no valid reason for any transceiver to perform signi

Manufacturers have gone mad about IMD in receivers but can you use it? e.g. a +40dBm TOIP with a 10dB NF. In SSB, that's an rx noise floor of -130dBm and an SFDR of 113dB. To use that, you need phase
