Abstract: In this article, we develop a linear profile decomposition for the $L^{p}o{L}^q$ adjoint Fourier restriction operator associated to the sphere, valid for exponent pairs $p<q$ for which this operator is bounded. Such theorems are new when $peq2$. We apply these methods to prove new results regarding the existence of extremizers and the behavior of extremizing sequences for the spherical extension operator. Namely, assuming boundedness, extremizers exist if $q>maxp,fracd+2d{p}^{\prime }$, or if $q=fracd+2d{p}^{\prime }$ and the operator norm exceeds a certain constant times the operator norm of the parabolic extension operator.
