Abstract
In a distortion generation path of a power series predistorter, a frequency characteristic compensator that adjusts the frequency characteristic of a distortion component is provided in series with an odd-order distortion generator. The output of a power amplifier is divided to obtain an output signal of the power amplifier, the output signal of the power amplifier is down-converted by a down converter, and a distortion detector detects a distortion component in the down-converted signal of base band. The frequency characteristic of the distortion component is split into windows each having a band width of Δf by a distortion component frequency characteristic splitter, and the power of the distortion component in each window is detected. Based on the detected power, the frequency characteristic compensator adjusts a part of the frequency characteristic of the distortion component associated with each window.
