The plot <strong>on</strong> the left reveals the effects <strong>of</strong> driving the power amplifier at 5dB back-<strong>of</strong>f.<br />
High levels <strong>of</strong> intermodulati<strong>on</strong> power and harm<strong>on</strong>ics are generated. The plot at right<br />
shows the improvement in the output from the <strong>RF</strong> predistorter <strong>on</strong>ce the coefficients have<br />
adapted. We can observe the spectral growth that occurs using a predistorter. The<br />
adjacent channel power is spread over a wider bandwidth, but mask requirements can be<br />
meet.
