The invention is related to a device comprising: generating unit configured to generate a feedback signal; setting unit configured to set a predetermined frequency shift to the feedback signal; evaluating unit configured to evaluate distortion caused in a transmission chain on the basis of the frequency shifted feedback signal; adapting unit configured to adapt quadrature modulation pre-distortion algorithms of the transmission chain; wherein the setting unit is further configured to set the frequency of the feedback signal to an original frequency value; wherein the evaluating unit is further configured to evaluate distortion caused in the feedback chain based on the feedback signal having the original frequency; wherein the adapting unit is further configured to adapt quadrature demodulation pre-distortion algorithms of the feedback chain; and wherein the adapting unit is further configured to adapt other pre-distortion algorithms.

Data processing method, transmitter, device, network element and base station

A transmitter compensates for the non-linearities within a transmission chain. The transmitter includes, for instance, a first forming device for forming, on the basis of at least one set of signal properties, at least one state expansion vector comprising quantities characterizing a signal. The transmitter includes a modifier for modifying the signal characterizing quantities of at least one state expansion vector with the at least one time-domain compensation parameter vector and with the at least one frequency-domain compensation parameter vector to form a pre-distorted signal. The transmitter includes a second forming device for forming a feedback signal from an output signal of a transmission chain. The transmitter includes an adapter for adapting at least one time-domain compensation parameter vector for adapting at least one frequency-domain compensation parameter vector based on a residual error between a transmit signal and the feedback signal.
