Özet:Characterization of nonlinear systems is a challenging task as the output can not be expressed simply in terms of input signal. Therefore, a universal analysis method is essential to simplify this procedure. Modeling of the input signal is a crucial part of such analysis. In this thesis, multi-tone representation is employed to model arbitrary, stochastically not well-defined input signals and thereafter characterize nonlinear systems. In order to verify the validity of multitone representation, multi-tone modeling concept is primarily applied to real life amplifier characterization in single amplifier configuration. This experiment demonstrated potential of multi-tone modeling concept in nonlinear system characterization and encouraged application of the concept to analysis of feedforward linearizers, which are complicated systems due to the presence of two nonlinear amplifiers and the requirement of strict amplitude, phase and delay matching within two loops of the circuit. It has been assumed that main and error amplifiers can be modeled with third order AM/AM nonlinearities and there exists no delay mismatch within the loops. Hence, closed form expressions relating the main and adjacent channel power at the output of the feedforward system to the system parameters are obtained. The developed model is verified by RF and system simulations. As a result, a mathematical handy tool to specify circuit parameters rapidly for optimum linearity performance and efficiency is achieved.
