Digital Precorrection (Predistortion) system used to compensate for the non-linearity of an RF power amplifier. Compensates for both Gain and Phase. The design may be used in open-loop configuration or in closed-loop configuration as part of an adaptive precorrection system.
Complex LUT stores the inverse (AM-AM) and (AM-PM) characteristics of the Amplifier. Optional choice of programming interfaces (I2C, SPI or UART) may be provided as an extra.
