A predistortion digital linearizer is disclosed. The linearizer includes a
predistorter for distorting a digital input signal in the digital domain
to have an opposite characteristic to a nonlinear distortion
characteristic of a high power amplifier, in accordance with a feedback
signal. An adaptation processing unit controls predistortion of the
digital input signal using a base band signal outputted from a feedback
unit and the digital input signal which has been delayed for a prescribed
period of time. Since the input signal of the digital linearizer is
directly predistorted in the digital domain, the accuracy of the
predistortion can be enhanced. In addition, since the level of the
digital input signal is controlled by the gain control signal and then
predistorted, so that the output level of the predistortion digital
linearizer can be controlled to a desired level.
