A waveform equalizer for equalizing a distorted signal, contains a sampling unit, a time series generating unit, and an equalization neural network unit. The sampling unit samples the level of a distorted signal at a predetermined rate. The time series generating unit serially receives the sampled level and outputs in parallel a predetermined number of the levels which have been last received. The equalization neural network unit receives the outputs of the time series generating unit, and generates an equalized signal of the distorted signal based on the outputs of the time series generating unit using a set of equalization network weights which are preset therein. The waveform equalizer may further contain a distortion characteristic detecting unit, an equalization network weight holding unit, and a selector unit. The distortion characteristic detecting unit detects a distortion characteristic of the distorted signal. The equalization network weight holding unit holds a plurality of sets of equalization network weights each for being set in the equalization neural network unit. The selector unit selects one of the plurality of sets of equalization network weights according to the distortion characteristic which is detected in the distortion characteristic detecting unit, and supplies the selected set in the equalization neural network unit to set the selected set therein.

A power amplifier negates a memory effect and is applied a linearizer using a digital predistortion system even in an inexpensive device. The power amplifier compares an input signal power against a sampled component of an output power, and provides predistortion to the input signal power so as to minimize a difference as a result of the comparison. The power amplifier comprises a gain lookup table storing a gain coefficient value corresponding to a temperature address determined for an input power; a phase lookup table storing a phase coefficient value corresponding to the temperature address determined for the input power; a transversal filter, which is input with the input power, and which outputs the temperature address; and a coefficient multiplier modulating the input signal using a gain coefficient value and a phase coefficient value, which correspond to the temperature address and which are read out from the gain coefficient lookup table and the phase lookup table.

A control unit and a control method are disclosed. First and second changing units change impedances of two or more first and second components within predetermined first and second ranges, respectively, the first and the second components affecting an output signal. An evaluation function value calculating unit calculates an evaluation function value that is dependent on the impedances of the first and the second components. A gradient vector calculating unit calculates a gradient vector based on the difference between the evaluation function values before and after the impedance change of the second components. Based on the gradient vector, impedance of each of the first components is changed such that the evaluation function value takes a desired value.

Disclosed is a radio apparatus in which modulating signals (I, Q signals) from an arithmetic/control unit are converted to analog signals, which are then applied to an orthogonal modulator. A modulated wave for transmission, which has been produced by orthogonally modulating a reference carrier wave by the modulating signals, is demodulated by the orthogonal detector. The arithmetic/control unit compares the modulating signals and the demodulated signals and, based upon the comparison, updates distortion compensation coefficients and applies pre-distortion processing to the modulating signal using the distortion compensation coefficients. Leakage carrier produced due to offset of the orthogonal modulator is detected and the arithmetic/control unit adjusts the level of the modulating signals or shifts the phase of the reference carrier wave in such a manner that the leakage carrier (offset) becomes zero.
