Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A predistortion apparatus, includes a reducer to output a signal that a peak to average power ratio of an input signal is reduced by clipping, a first predistorter to generate and output a first predistortion signal from the output signal of the reducer, based on a signal obtained by removing a clipping noise caused by the clipping from the output signal of the reducer, so as to reduce energy of a residual error component obtained by removing a clipping noise caused by the clipping from an error signal included in an output of the power amplifier, a second predistorter to generate and output, by using the clipping noise, a second predistortion signal to remove a clipping noise component from the first predistortion signal, and a combiner to generate an input signal of the power amplifier obtained by combining the first predistortion signal and the second predistortion signal.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A predistortion apparatus for a power amplifier, comprising: a reducer to output a signal that a peak to average power ratio of an input signal is reduced by clipping; a first predistorter to generate and output a first predistortion signal from the output signal of the reducer, based on a signal obtained by subtracting a clipping noise signal, which is obtained by subtracting the output signal of the reducer from the input signal of the reducer, from the…
