Abstract
Exemplary embodiments of the invention include a transmitter system configured to predistort an input signal to generate a target output signal. An exemplary transmitter system includes a forward path including a predistortion device coupled with an amplifier, the forward path configured for predistorting an input signal to the predistortion device in response to a phase error compensation signal and an amplitude error compensation signal in order to generate a desired output signal for the output signal of the amplifier, and a feedback path including a processor configured for generating the phase error compensation signal and the amplitude error compensation signal based on a comparison of the input signal with phase and amplitude information of the output signal of the amplifier, wherein the phase and amplitude information of the amplifier are transmitted to the processor on a single path of the feedback path. Other methods and apparatuses are also presented herein.
