Abstract

A distortion compensation apparatus includes an amplifying unit, a plurality of distortion compensation coefficient storage units, a first address generating unit, a second address generating unit, and a distortion compensating unit. The amplifying unit amplifies an input signal. A plurality of distortion compensation coefficient storage units store the distortion compensation coefficients for compensating for the distortion of the amplifying unit by being associated with two different addresses. The first address generating unit generates a first address based on the current input signal. The second address generating unit generates a second address different from the first address based on the previous input signal. The distortion compensating unit obtains the distortion compensation coefficient corresponding to a combination of the first and second addresses from each of the distortion compensation coefficient storage units and performs a pre-distortion processing for the current input signal to the amplifying unit using the obtained distortion compensation coefficient.
