- the tap coefficient C + l, CO, C-1 output from the linear distortion compensation coefficient operation circuit 35 is input via the terminal 71, and the first multiplier 32 is connected to the terminal 6
- the signal from 9 is directly input, the signal passed through one delay element 31 is input to the second multiplier 32, and the two delay elements 31 are input to the third multiplier 32.
- the signal that has passed through is input.
- the signal from the three multipliers 32 is input to the adder 33, and the signal from the adder 33 is output from the terminal 70 to the adder 30 shown in FIG. I have.
- each tap coefficient of the transversal filter is calculated and supplied by the linear distortion compensation coefficient calculation unit 18.
- the transversal filter 2 9 The operation of is the same as the operation of a generally known linear equalizer, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.
- the transmission device of the present embodiment compensates for nonlinear distortion that occurs when amplifying a modulated signal, and also performs linear distortion compensation.
- the linear distortion compensation eliminates the effects of imperfections and inherent deviations of the amplitude delay characteristics of the analog circuit, so that ideal nonlinear distortion compensation can be performed.
- the phase is determined by the phase uncertainty removing circuit 16 in order to increase the accuracy of the predistortion. Instead, it can also perform linear and non-linear distortion compensation.
- FIG. 7 shows the configuration of the transmitting apparatus when the phase uncertainty removing circuit is omitted.
- the nonlinear distortion compensation processing unit 11 is provided before the linear distortion compensation processing unit 12 and performs the nonlinear distortion compensation, and then performs the linear distortion compensation.
- the distortion compensation processing unit 12 may be provided before the nonlinear distortion processing unit 11 to perform linear distortion compensation, and then execute nonlinear distortion compensation.
- FIG. 8 shows the configuration of the transmitting apparatus in that case. Industrial applicability
- pre-distortion for compensating for linear distortion in addition to non-linear distortion due to imperfection of an analog circuit, it is possible to compensate for linear distortion of a high-power amplifier.
- the accuracy of predistortion can be improved, and ideal nonlinear distortion compensation can be performed.
