  • Patent number: 9813028
    Abstract: an amplifier amplifies electrical power of signals. A calculating unit calculates a cumulative value for each of first samples and second samples, between which a difference in electrical power or phase is within a first range, in a first sample group and a second sample group corresponding to a first signal that is a signal before amplification in the amplifier and a second signal that is a signal after amplification in the amplifier. Then, the calculating unit calculates, by using the calculated cumulative value, a phase difference between the first signal and the second signal. The correction unit corrects the phase difference by using a correction amount calculated from the phase difference. The updating unit updates, by using the first signal and the second signal of which the phase difference is corrected, a distortion compensation coefficient that is used to compensate nonlinear distortion generated in the amplifier.

  • Patent number: 9203447
    Abstract: In a distortion compensating unit, a threshold calculating unit calculates a clip threshold to be set in an adjusting unit based on an address value generated by an address generating circuit. For example, the threshold calculating unit calculates the clip threshold by identifying the maximum value of address values generated by the address generating circuit in each adjustment unit period and subtracting a certain offset value from the identified maximum value. The adjusting unit adjusts a distortion compensation coefficient based on an address value received from the address generating circuit and a magnitude relationship with the set clip threshold.

  • Patent number: 9172333
    Abstract: A distortion compensation device includes a storage unit, an address generator, and a distortion compensation processor. The storage unit stores therein a distortion compensation coefficient for compensating distortion generated in an amplifier for amplifying an input signal. The address generator generates a first address based on a power value of the signal at a current time. Furthermore, the address generator delays, every time a new augend is input, the sum of the power value of the signal at the current time and the augend. The address generator generates a second address based on the sum obtained by calculating a new augend, from the delayed sum. The distortion compensation processor acquires a distortion compensation coefficient corresponding to a combination of the first address and the second address from the storage unit and performs distortion compensation processing on the signal by using the acquired distortion compensation coefficient.
