A method for transmitting data, wherein along a transmission path: (i) a modulated carrier signal is generated based on the data to be transmitted, the carrier signal having a carrier frequency within a given transmission channel, which is comprised of a number of frequencies, and (ii) the modulated carrier signal is amplified to a transmission signal, wherein along a compensation path: (i) the modulated carrier signal is filtered, whereby the frequency components within the transmission channel are removed, and at least one of a phase, an amplitude, and/or a delay of the filtered signal is modified thereby generating a compensation signal, and wherein the compensation signal is subtracted from the transmission signal thereby generating a compensated transmission signal, and wherein the compensated transmission signal is transmitted. Also a respective data transmission device is disclosed.
