Abstract:
An amplitude and phase predistortion apparatus and a predistorting method thereof, and an OFDM transmission system using the same and a transmitting method thereof are provided to minimize the calculation complexity for the system and to reduce a PAPR(Peak-to-Average Power Ratio). An amplitude and phase predistortion apparatus includes a measuring unit(21), a calculating unit(22), and a distorting unit(23). The measuring unit measures the contribution between IFTT multi-carrier and an OFDM symbol made by combining the multi-carriers. The calculating unit calculates a signal size and a phase coefficient to be added to each carrier signal based on the measured contribution. The distorting unit distorts each constellation point with corresponding size and phase using the signal size and the phase coefficient.
