A transmitter circuit (200, 400, 510) and method reduces amplitude
modulation distortion in an amplifier (210). The transmitter circuit
(200, 400, 510) includes a power control error data generator (230), a
feedforward predistortion data generator (240), feedforward adder logic
(250) and the amplifier (210). The power control error data generator
(230) receives amplitude modulation data (252) and an RF coupled output
signal (254) and, in response, produces power control error data (256).
The feedforward predistortion data generator (240) receives the amplitude
modulation data (252) and, in response, produces feedforward
predistortion data (258). The feedforward adder logic (250) receives the
power control error data (256) and the feedforward predistortion data
(258) and, in response, produces power control data (260). The amplifier
(210) receives the power control data (260) and an RF input signal (261)
and, in response, produces an RF output signal (262), such that the power
control data (260) reduces amplitude modulation distortion in the RF
output signal (262).
