    摘要: A method of a wireless transmitter is disclosed. The method is for mitigation of distortion caused by non-linear hardware components of the transmitter, wherein mitigation of distortion comprises mitigating at least one intermodulation component, wherein the transmitter is configured to process an input signal having an input signal spectrum, and wherein the transmitter comprises two or more signal branches, each signal branch comprising a respective non-linear hardware component. The method comprises modifying the input signal for a first one of the signal branches by applying a first phase shift to a first part of the input signal spectrum, wherein the first phase shift has a first sign and a first absolute value, and applying a second phase shift to a second part of the input signal spectrum. The second phase shift has a second sign which is opposite to the first sign, and a second absolute value which is equal to the first absolute value. The first and second parts are non-overlapping. The method also comprises modifying the input signal for a second one of the signal branches by applying the first phase shift to the second part of the input signal spectrum, and applying the second phase shift to the first part of the input signal spectrum. The method further comprises feeding the modified input signals to respective ones of the signal branches. Corresponding apparatus, wireless transmitter, communication device, and computer program product are also disclosed.
