A transmission apparatus of a single carrier-based wireless communication system is proposed. The transmission apparatus may include a transceiver, a memory configured to store one or more instructions; and a processor configured to execute the one or more instructions stored in the memory. The processor may generate data symbols by modulating traffic data, generate a cyclic prefix (CP) on the basis of the data symbols, and generate a pilot symbol for the data symbol. The transceiver may transmit a single carrier frequency domain equalizer (SC-FDE) frame including the data symbol, the CP, and the pilot symbol. The data symbols may include first data symbols and second data symbols. The pilot symbol may be transmitted after transmission of the first data symbols and before transmission of the second data symbols.

The low-cost digital predistortion apparatus includes a digital predistortion unit and an envelope detection feedback unit. The digital predistortion unit converts the output of a predistorter into analog signals, frequency-modulates the analog signals into a pass band signal, and amplifies the frequency-modulated signal via a power amplifier. The envelope detection feedback unit converts the difference between the input and output of the power amplifier of the digital predistortion unit and the output of the power amplifier into baseband signals, respectively, converts the baseband signals into digital signals, estimates the nonlinear distortion characteristic output of the power amplifier, calculates a predistortion parameter that is used to compensate for the estimated nonlinear distortion characteristic output of the power amplifier.
