Non-Linearity in RF Systems

This course covers the comprehensive aspects of RF transceiver design, with a particular focus on noise, nonlinearity, and memory-less systems. For instance, learners will explore the different types of noise and how to measure noise figures. The course also delves into the conditions for linearity and memory-less systems, and how these concepts apply to circuit or transceiver design. Furthermore, the course discusses the impact of nonlinearity on system design, including the effects of time variance and invariance. The course concludes with an exploration of gain compression and its significance in RF transceiver design. In addition, the course covers the concept of linearity in RF systems, focusing on gain compression, frequency modulation, and amplitude modulation. Lastly, the course covers the concept of nonlinearity in RF system design, focusing on the RF transceiver design. This course has been developed by Prof. Darshak Bhatt from IIT Roorkee for NPTEL.
