Abstract

A linearization device for a power amplifier using adaptive digital baseband predistortion includes a pre-inverse block receiving a complex discretized input signal {tilde over (x)}e(n) and restoring a complex predistorted signal {tilde over (x)}p(n) at the power amplifier input. The pre-inverse block includes a first module and a second module receiving the modulus of the complex input signal |{tilde over (x)}e(n)| at the input whose value is included in an amplitude domain varying between two values 0 and Amax, the amplitude domain being split into a plurality of segments, the first module associating with each value of the complex input signal modulus |{tilde over (x)}e(n)| contained in a given segment, a set of several parameters defining a model implemented in the second module via a function Fj, the second module restoring a value Fj(|{tilde over (x)}e(n)|), the complex predistorted signal resulting from multiplying the complex input signal {tilde over (x)}e (n) by the value Fj(|{tilde over (x)}e(n)|).
