Abstract

This invention is a method of power amplifier digital pre-distortion which measures a current power level of the power amplifier, stores in a look up table entries consisting of a power level and a corresponding set of digital pre-distortion coefficients, selects a set of digital pre-distortion coefficients corresponding to the measured power level. If the measured current power level is near a power level index, the digital pre-distortion coefficients correspond to the power level index. If the measured current power level is greater than the maximum power level entry, the digital pre-distortion coefficients is of the maximum power level entry. If the measured current power level is less than the minimum power level entry, the digital pre-distortion is of the minimum power level entry. If the measured current power level is not near a power level index, the digital pre-distortion coefficients are an interpolation.
