Abstract

A predistortion circuit includes a first splitter for splitting an input signal into primary and secondary electrical paths, a first combiner for combining a main signal on the primary electrical path and a predistorted signal on the second electrical path into a single signal for modulating a nonlinear device with predictable distortion characteristics, a distortion signal generator for receiving a branch signal from the first splitter and for producing first and second intermodulation products, a second splitter for receiving the first intermodulation products and for outputting two sets of the first intermodulation products, a third splitter for receiving the second intermodulation products and for outputting two sets of the second intermodulation products, an even-order signal processing unit for processing one set of the first intermodulation products and one set of the second intermodulation products to generate even-order intermodulation products, an odd-order signal processing unit for processing the other set of the first intermodulation products and the other set of the second intermodulation products to generate odd-order intermodulation products, and a second combiner for combining the even-order intermodulaton products and the odd-order intermodulation products to obtain the predistortion signal.
