Most mobile products are designed with Class C power amplifiers, which offer the highest power efficincey. However, because they are nonlinear, requires the amplified signal to have a constant envelope.


why nonlinear PA amplifier a constant envelope?

Click to expand...

Because nonlinear PA amplify different amplitudes differently-not linearly.
So you will get distorted signal at output.

Class AB is also used for a constant envelope.
