Abstract

A wireless apparatus includes amplifying systems each including a storing unit storing a distortion compensation coefficient for compensation for a nonlinear distortion of one or more transmission signals, a compensator compensating for the nonlinear distortion using the distortion compensation coefficient stored in the storing unit, and an amplifier amplifying the transmission signal after distortion compensation. The wireless apparatus further includes a switch that selects feedback signals corresponding to the transmission signals output from the amplifying systems, a subtractor that derives one or more differences between the feedback signal selected in the switch and the transmission signal, a first calculator that derives a distortion compensation coefficient that restricts the difference derived in the subtractor, and a switch controller that controls a length of time during which the feedback signal is selected in the switch depending on magnitude of distortion of the transmission signal output from the amplifying system.
