DIGITAL PREDISTORTION APPARATUS AND METHOD USING THE SUM OF ABSOLUTE INPUT SIGNALS FOR A NON-IDENTICAL NUMBER OF DELAYS

摘要

The present invention relates to a digital predistortion apparatus, including: a coefficient control unit for setting coefficients in a look-up table, the coefficients minimizing a difference of an input signal to a power amplifier and an exponentiation of the sum of a first absolute output signal having a first number of delays and a second absolute output signal having a second number of delays, for an absolute signal of an output signal of a power amplifier; an adder for receiving a first absolute input signal having the first number of delays and a second absolute input signal having the second number of delays, for an absolute signal of the input signal of the power amplifier, and outputting the sum of the first absolute input signal and the second absolute input signal; and said look-up table, connected to the adder, for outputting result values according to the set coefficients in correspondence to the sum of the first absolute input signal and the second absolute input signal.
