Abstract

Methods an systems for low-power transmission include biasing an emitter in a non-linear operating range of the emitter near a threshold current of the emitter. A data signal is distorted to add a precursor pulse to a rising edge of a data waveform to quickly bring the emitter into a linear operating range. The distorted data signal is transmitted at the emitter.
