Optimum spacing for a quadratically interpolated look-up table predistorter for cellular power amplifiers

One of the major barriers in modern wireless communication system is the trade-off between the linearity and power efficiency of cellular power amplifier (PA). On the other hand, the non-constant envelope of spectrally competent modulated signals such as wideband code division multiple access (WC...
