DESCRIPTION:Amplifiers found in radio transmitters and receivers are often 
 assumed to be linear systems\, but when they operate near their limits\, n
 onlinear effects can cause distortion and spectral leakage. Digital nonlin
 ear compensation techniques improve the linearity of both transmitters and
  receivers. On the transmit side\, digital pre-distortion (DPD) allows pow
 er amplifiers to run near saturation\, where they are most efficient\, wit
 hout introducing nonlinear distortion in band or in neighboring channels. 
 On the receive side\, nonlinear equalization (NLEq) increases receiver dyn
 amic range\, allowing detection of very weak signals. DPD and NLEq both re
 quire power efficient digital implementations to maintain the efficiency o
 f the overall system. Effects of nonlinear distortion and techniques to co
 mbat it will be presented.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Engineers Club of Des Moine

X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Amplifiers found in radio transmitters and
  receivers are often assumed to be linear systems\, but when they operate 
 near their limits\, nonlinear effects can cause distortion and spectral le
 akage. Digital nonlinear compensation techniques improve the linearity of 
 both transmitters and receivers. On the transmit side\, digital pre-distor
 tion (DPD) allows power amplifiers to run near saturation\, where they are
  most efficient\, without introducing nonlinear distortion in band or in n
 eighboring channels. On the receive side\, nonlinear equalization (NLEq) i
 ncreases receiver dynamic range\, allowing detection of very weak signals.
  DPD and NLEq both require power efficient digital implementations to main
 tain the efficiency of the overall system. Effects of nonlinear distortion
  and techniques to combat it will be presented.</p><br /><br />Agenda: <br
