Abstract
This letter proposes a novel methodology and a metric for the assessment of the linearizability of broadband nonlinear power amplifiers (PAs). Validation of the proposed methodology and the proposed metric on two linearized Doherty PAs (DPAs) using digital predistortion (DPD) technique was carried out and it demonstrated the suitability and appropriateness of the new metric. Different from the iterative optimization procedure between the PA circuit design and the DPD algorithm compensation, the proposed method aims to provide a quantitative criterion on the PA linearizability based on its frequency-dependent amplitude modulation (AM)/AM and AM/phase modulation (PM) characteristics. To verify the effectiveness of the metric, two DPAs were characterized before and after a DPD-based linearization. The average correlation coefficients between the values of the metric and the adjacent channel power ratio after DPD were 0.8763 and 0.9156, and that between the values of the metric and the error vector magnitude after DPD were 0.8618 and 0.7200 for PA1 and PA2, respectively, indicating that the evaluation method and the linearizability metric can be used as a good measure to assess the linearizability of broadband PAs.

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
