ABSTRACT Efficiency is a primary concern in wireless communications and many other industries. Most often, this sought after efficiency comes at a financial cost. The cellular industry is no different from other business in its efforts to reduce cost by maximizing efficiency. In the cellular industry, a large portion of the costs are attributed to base stations. The base station is the infrastructure that is responsible for transmitting and receiving speech and data between cellular devices. A significant portion of the costs are attributable to the high power amplifiers (HPA) located within these infrastructures. When a power amplifier (PA) is operating at higher efficiency, the linearity of the PA is adversely affected. The motivation for this work is to maximize the efficiency and linearity of HPAs; thus, breaking the adverse relationship between the two.
