Abstract
A new scheme for the compensation of traveling wave tube amplifier nonlinearities is proposed and analyzed in this paper. The approach is based on rational function models of the amplifier AM-AM and AM-PM conversions. Amplitude and phase predistortion are performed separately. The phase predistortion is a function of the output of the amplitude predistortion part of the predistorter, instead of the input signal amplitude of the predistorter. Computer simulations reveal an improved performance compared to published techniques and suggest that with the proposed technique the transmit power amplifier can operate far into its nonlinear region. The transfer characteristics of the cascade of the amplifier and the proposed predistorter match the optimum transfer characteristics of a saturating device.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
