Abstract

Provided are an apparatus and method for compensating a feedback path distortion in a digital broadcasting signal. The apparatus for improving a performance of a pre-equalizer in a transmitter of a digital broadcasting system having a feedback path for adaptively generating a filter coefficient of the pre-equalizer, includes a reference signal generator for generating a reference radio frequency (RF) signal, a feedback path estimator for estimating transmission band characteristic information for the feedback path based on the reference RF signal generated from the reference signal generator, and a feedback path compensator for compensating a demodulated signal transferred through the feedback path based on the estimated transmission band characteristic information from the feedback path estimator and generating a filter coefficient of the pre-equalizer.
