Abstract

An apparatus for implementing digital baseband predistortion includes a transmission channel including a digital-to-analog converter, a modulator, an amplifier and a power amplifier, and further includes a feedback channel analog part including a diode detector, a filter and an analog-to-digital converter, and a feedback channel digital part including a predistorter, a mode obtaining unit, a predistortion coefficient generator and a feedback correcting unit. The diode detector is configured to obtain an envelope of an output signal of the power amplifier. Embodiments of the present invention further provide a method for implementing digital baseband predistortion by applying the foregoing single-chip. Due to a simple structure of the diode detector, not only the number of radio frequency devices on the feedback channel is reduced, implementation complexity of hardware is lowered, power consumption is reduced, but also a feedback channel analog part may be integrated onto the single-chip.
