Abstract

A corrective predistortion function is applied to a signal to compensate for or cancel out distortion that is introduced by a component that processes the signal. A disclosed example includes applying a corrective predistortion function to a transmitted signal used for wireless communications. A technique for selecting the corrective predistortion function includes determining a current power level of the signal. When the current power level is at or below a lift level between a maximum signal power level and a minimum signal power level, a corrective predistortion function corresponding to the lift level is applied to the signal. When the actual signal power level is above the lift level, a corrective predistortion function corresponding to the actual current power level is applied.
