The authors propose a modified algorithm for an adaptivepredistorter (APD) to compensate for the nonlinear distortionencountered in a satellite channel. They describe a recursive algorithmfor an APD in rectangular coordinates and give the structure forimplementation of the algorithm. A modified recursive algorithm which iscalled the sign algorithm and the structure for implementation areproposed. Computer simulation results show that the sign algorithm iseffective for the compensation of nonlinear satellite channels. Themodified algorithm is based on the rectangular representation of datasymbols
