Abstract

In a modulated signal transmission system operable in response to an input digital signal of a baseband to produce a modulated signal through a nonlinear amplifier, a nonlinear converter is controlled by a control signal generator to compensate for not only a nonlinear distortion but also a linear distortion. The control signal generator is given a difference signal between a linearly detected signal and the input digital signal to which an estimated linear distortion is added by a linear filter having filter coefficients controlled by a filter coefficient estimator. An additional nonlinear converter is located prior to the linear filter. Alternatively, the linear filter may be located after the nonlinear converter.
