Abstract

A device for linearizing a transmitter in a digital radio communication system. In the device, a predistortion lookup table stores predistortion data determined by measuring in advance distortion characteristics of the transmitter with respect to input baseband data. During transmission, the device synthesizes the input baseband data with the predistortion data to predistort the input data so as to compensate for the distortion characteristics caused by non-linear elements constituting the transmitter.
