A curve fitting circuit, an analog predistorter, and a radio frequency signal transmitter are disclosed, so as to resolve a problem that, when radio frequency signal decomposition is performed by using an existing polynomial fitting method, a fitting result caused by frequent use of a higher order polynomial is very sensitive to both a higher order term coefficient and a quantization noise. Each segmentation processing circuit in the curve fitting circuit intercepts a part of a received input signal according to a preset rule, generates a to-be-processed signal according to the intercepted part, and generates q output signals according to the to-be-processed signal by using a polynomial fitting method. Parts intercepted by different segmentation processing circuits are not exactly the same. Each first adder circuit receives one signal in the q output signals of each segmentation processing circuit, and obtains one output signal of the curve fitting circuit according to a sum of received n signals. Different first adder circuits receive different output signals in q output signals of a same segmentation processing circuit.
