Abstract :
A compact, broadband linearizer has been developed at Space Systems Loral for Ka-Band communication satellite (20 GHz down link). The pre-distortion type linearizer is capable of providing up to 10 dB gain compensation and 80 degree phase compensation, and is suitable for broadband communicztion satellite.
