Don't forget that this "digital" radio stuff is only digital in the muldem. The RF is still analog, and good linearity is required to have a good BER and more effective communications. Deep huh? The only reason I bring this up is for humor value. I once asked a manufacturer's representative about maximizing linearity in their PAs, and his response was, "It's all digital". I just laughed, and he just looked puzzled.
