Abstract: A compensator compensates for the distortions of a power amplifier circuit. A power amplifier neural network (PAN) is trained to model the power amplifier circuit using pre-determined input and output signal pairs that characterize the power amplifier circuit.

The trained compensator performs signal compensation to thereby output a pre-distorted signal to the power amplifier circuit.
