Abstract
The disclosure relates to devices, methods, and computer programs in mobile communications in order to reduce signal distortions. Specifically, it relates to a transmitter system which comprises a plurality of signal paths. Each signal path is associated with an input transmission signal. Each signal path comprises an analog portion of the signal path. Each 5 signal path comprises a Dual-Input Digital Predistortion, DI DPD, module. The DI DPD is configured to provide a predistorted input transmission signal to the analog portion in response to a received Crosstalk and Mismatch, CTM, signal and the input transmission signal. The transmitter system further comprises one or more CTM modules configured to receive one or more input transmission signals. The CTM module comprises to separately generate for 10 each DI DPD module the CTM signal, where said CTM signals represent CTM distortions caused by one or more output transmission signals of each said analog portion.
