Abstract
A transmitter includes: a transmission circuit that outputs, via a transmission amplifier, transmission signals of a same frequency band; and a feedback circuit that feeds back, to the transmission circuit, a distortion compensation coefficient that is used to compensate for distortion of the transmission signals. The feedback circuit includes: a delay circuit that delays each of the transmission signals by a different amount of time; a combining unit that combines the delayed transmission signals to generate a combined signal; a signal conversion unit that converts a frequency of the combined signal to a different frequency using a local signal that is common among the transmission signals, and generates a demodulated digital signal from the combined signal of which the frequency has been converted; and a distortion compensation calculation unit that calculates the distortion compensation coefficient based on the demodulated digital signal.
