Abstract
Direct linearity measurements at 6 GHz show that Bell Labs GaAs MESFET´s are effectively third-order in AM/PM up to output powers near saturation, and that AM/AM can be made negligible through bias adjustment. This permits the use of predistortion techniques to attain extremely high linearity power amplification.
