A transmitter (20) includes a peak reduction section (30), a predistorter (98), and an amplifying section (102) biased by a variable bias signal generator (118). The peak reduction section (30) is controlled by a signal magnitude threshold (36) that defines maximum magnitudes for local peaks (32) of a reduced-peak communication signal (38). The bias signal generator (118) is controlled by a bias control signal (110). Both the signal magnitude threshold (36) and the bias control signal (110) are derived from a common reduced bandwidth (50) peak-tracking signal (42). The peak-tracking signal (42) is derived from an inflated-peak communication signal (26). The predistorter (98) applies distortion to the reduced-peak communication signal (38) that is configured, at least in part, by the bias control signal (110).

A distortion-compensation-coefficient storage unit (33) stores a distortion compensation coefficient. An address generating unit (31) takes a logarithm of power of an input signal, and exponentiates the value obtained by taking a logarithm, and selects a distortion compensation coefficient stored in the distortion-compensation-coefficient storage unit (33) according to the value obtained by exponentiation. A pre-distortion unit (32) acquires the selected distortion compensation coefficient from the distortion-compensation-coefficient storage unit (33), and perform distortion compensation processing on the signal input to the address generating unit (31) using the acquire distortion compensation coefficient. An amplifier amplifies the signal subjected to the distortion compensation processing. The distortion-compensation-coefficient calculating unit (34) updates a distortion compensation coefficient that is stored in the distortion-compensation-coefficient storage unit (33) based on an amplified transmission signal and a signal input to the address generating unit (31).
