Abstract
Provided is a radio-frequency (RF) power amplifier system that includes a look-up table (LUT), populated with values indicative of predistortion information that is stored in a memory location, and a transmit path that includes a predistorter to receive a transmission signal (TX) and output a predistorted transmission (TX) signal, wherein the predistorted transmission signal is compensated for distortion of the transmit path, and wherein the predistorter outputs the predistorted TX signal based on the values indicative of predistortion information populated in the look-up table. The transmit path also includes a digital to analog converter (DAC) configured to receive the predistorted TX signal from the predistorter and output an analog predistorted transmission (TX) signal, and a power amplifier configured to amplify the analog predistorted TX signal.
