Abstract:
There is a need for effectively compensating distortion when a predistortion transmitter is subject to not only a memory effect due to nonlinearity of an amplifier, but also a modulator's DC offset, IQ unbalance, or local quadrature error. A predistortor to be used is a polynomial predistortor including a polynomial basis generation portion and an inner product calculation portion. The polynomial basis generation portion delays a real part and an imaginary part of a complex input signal Sx=Ix+jQx for up to M samples to generate 2(M+1) signals, duplicately combines these signals to generate monomials having maximum degree N, and outputs, as a basis vector, all or part of the monomials depending or needs. The inner product calculation portion performs an inner product calculation using a coefficient vector, i.e., a set of complex numbers sized equally to the basis vector to find a polynomial value and outputs the value as a complex signal.
