This effort will conduct a feasibility study to employ a noble method to construct a modified Class-E transmitter. The approach will utilize envelope modulation and digital pre-distortion in order to achieve high efficiency of operation while maintaining signal fidelity when employing waveforms incorporating Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) modulation schemes.
Benefit: The proposed transmitter design will be capable of being employed over a broad range of applications. A single efficient transmitter will be capable of modulating commercial waveforms such as GSM, WiMAX, LTE, as well as military waveforms such as SRW and OFDM modulation of other military waveforms.
