Hi Cathy, So would it be better to use 4 or or more devices with somewhat lower ratings for linear operation? I do think so. Specifically I would look for devices designed specifically for linear ser

Quite interesting discussions. I would say that the major areas of improvement would be: 1) Better IMD, which could best be accomplished by adaptive predistorsion. I just took a look at the new gener

Jim, Cost is a powerful reason against that, in my opinion. It would be expensive overkill. I do think that using 4 devices (or more) is a good idea, but then these should be cheaper devices. A few d
