Abstract

A distortion simulating pilot is injected at the input of an amplifier which uses feed forward distortion correction. The magnitude of the pilot signal in the amplifier output is used to control a decreasing step size circuit algorithm for adjusting the gain and phase of the feed forward distortion signal to eliminate substantially the pilot signal and the distortion introduced by the amplifier.
