Abstract

An adaptive Digital Pre-distortion System and a method for correcting especially power amplifier memory effects. In particular, the invention relates to an electronic circuit, for amplifying an input signal, comprising: a clipping unit for generating a signal, having a reduced peak-to-average power ratio by clipping the input signal; a pre-distorter for generating a pre-distorted signal, defined by an pre-distortion algorithm which is based on the amplifier model function; a representation unit for representing the amplifier model function; a non-linear processing unit, in particular a power amplifier, for generating a processed signal, in particular by amplifying said received pre-distorted signal; a time delay unit for compensating the processing time for the pre-distorted signal generating the delayed pre-distorted signal; and a time delay cascade for delaying the said delayed pre-distorted signal, at the integer sample clocks generating the signals.
