Abstract
An approach to linearization relaxes the requirements on the digitization of the analog output signal while maintaining the benefits of a high sampling rate of the output signal. The digitization approach extracts sufficient information to characterize the output signal over a wide bandwidth without necessarily determining sufficient information to fully represent the output signal, for example, without sampling the output signal at the Nyquist sampling rate with a sufficient precision to accurately represent the signal.
