    Abstract: A predistorter gives an input signal inputted to a power amplifier distortion corresponding to a compensation coefficient. A band limiter limits components in a second frequency band other than a first frequency band of a feedback signal fed back from the power amplifier, and distorts components in the first frequency band according to the limited components in the second frequency band. A learner updates the compensation coefficient on the basis of the distorted feedback signal.

    Abstract: An exemplary system comprises a linearizer, a power amplifier, and a feedback block. The linearizer may be configured to use a predistortion control signal to add predistortion to a receive signal to generate a predistorted signal. The power amplifier may be configured to amplify power of the predistorted signal to generate a first amplified signal. The power amplifier may also add high side and low side amplifier distortion to the predistorted signal. The high side and low side amplifier distortion may cancel at least a portion of the predistortion. The feedback block may be configured to capture a feedback signal based on a previous amplified signal from the power amplifier, to determine high side and low side distortion of the captured feedback signal, and to generate the predistortion control signal based on the determined high side and low side distortion.

    Abstract: A baseband PA predistortion module, which includes a baseband combiner, a baseband PA correction circuit, and a baseband filter, is disclosed. The baseband PA correction circuit replicates behavior of an RF PA by processing a modulation data signal to provide a predistortion data signal. The behavior of the RF PA includes distortion. The modulation data signal is representative of an RF input signal to an RF PA and the predistortion data signal is representative of a correction needed at an output of the RF PA. The baseband filter receives and filters the predistortion data signal to provide a reduced predistortion data signal, such that a low frequency content of the reduced predistortion data signal is less than a low frequency content of the predistortion data signal. The baseband combiner receives and combines the modulation data signal and the reduced predistortion data signal to provide a baseband transmit signal.
