Abstract: The present invention relates to a lineariser for use with an amplifier and to a method of linearising an amplifier. The lineariser comprises an input to receive an input signal and an output for outputting an adjusted signal. A gain variations adjustment means are provided for adjusting amplitude dependent gain variations of the signal. A phase variations adjustment means are provided for adjusting amplitude dependent phase variations of the signal. Said gain and phase variations adjustment means are adapted to be individually adjustable elements on the signal path between said input and output. A variable gain amplifier is provided on the signal path between the gain variations adjustment means and phase variations adjustment means. The adjusted signal is then input to said amplifier.

Abstract: The present invention proposes a method for adjusting a parameter (IDQ) of a power device (1) by changing an input signal (VG) to said power device, said method comprising the steps of taking (S2) a sample of an output signal (POUT) of said power device (1), detecting (S5) at least a first and a second signal component level (P1ST, P2ND) of said sampled output signal (POUT), processing (S6) the at least detected first and second signal component level (P1ST, P2ND), deciding on the basis of a result obtained in said processing step (S6), whether a compensation of a change of said parameter (IDQ) is required, and if such a change is to be compensated, determining (S8) a changing value (V) for said input signal (VG) and adjusting (S9) the parameter (IDQ) by changing said input signal (VG) by said determined changing value (V). Furthermore, the present invention proposes a corresponding device.
