Abstract

A system and method for pre-distorting a digital signal in a digital communications system. The method includes converting digital bits to be transmitted to a series of symbols defining the bits and providing the symbols to a pulse shaping filter (PSF) that provides samples of the symbols at a predetermined sample rate. The method also includes providing the filtered samples to a pre-distorter that pre-distorts the samples, wherein pre-distorting the samples includes providing a non-linear transformation of the samples that is defined by pre-distorter taps, and providing the pre-distorted samples to a power amplifier to be transmitted, where pre-distorting the samples includes modeling the power amplifier and associated transmitter components using a degree three memory polynomial.
