    Abstract: A transmission chain receives an incident signal to be transmitted having a first power and a first bandwidth. A first modulator frequency shifts a first signal derived from the incident signal to generate a first shifted signal at a modulation output. A power amplifier coupled to the modulation output amplifies an intermediate signal to generate an amplified output signal. A predistortion-signal-generating circuit generates, from the incident signal and from the amplified output signal in a second bandwidth that is larger than the first bandwidth, a predistortion signal having a second power lower than the first power. A second modulator frequency shifts a second signal derived from the predistortion signal to generate a second shifted signal for combination with the first shifted signal at said modulation output to produce the intermediate signal.

    Abstract: An embodiment circuit includes a first voltage divider coupled between a first voltage level and a ground potential. The circuit further includes an error amplifier having a first input terminal coupled to a node between a first resistive element and a second resistive element of the first voltage divider. The circuit further includes a second voltage divider coupled between a second voltage level and a reference voltage, wherein a second input terminal of the error amplifier is coupled to a node between a third resistive element and a fourth resistive element of the second voltage divider, and wherein an output voltage of the error amplifier is configured to control a potential difference between the first voltage level and the second voltage level.
