Abstract
Amplification of a modulated signal in the presence of a large dither in a nonlinear medium such as switch mode power amplifiers facilitates linear performance of the transmitter since most of the nonlinearity is experienced by the dither signal. Therefore, the potential for a promising compromise between linearity and efficiency in these structures is especially attractive for RF power amplifier designers.
