Abstract
An transmitter arrangement and a method therein are provided for linearization of an active antenna array. The active antenna array comprises a plurality of antenna elements, which are associated with a plurality of power amplifiers. The active antenna array is further associated with a precoder having a number of input and output ports. The method comprises obtaining a first signal provided to the antenna array via a first input port of the precoder. The method further comprises adapting a pre-distorting linearizer connected to the first input port based on the first signal and on feedback from the plurality of antenna elements, resulting from the propagation of the first signal via the precoder, and via the plurality of power amplifiers. Embodiments are also provided for adapting a pre-distorting linearizer based on a plurality of input signals and feedback from the plurality of antenna elements.
