Abstract :
An experimental test bed of a novel full analog microwave LINC SCS scheme is presented. The proposed implementation is suited for the RF section of typical microwave transmitter and could be useful when there is no access to the baseband circuitry. It´s main characteristic is based on the predistortion of the gain law of a typical variable gain amplifier. The proposed experiment has been performed in order to demonstrate the usefulness of the solution and constitute the first step before a total integrated.
