A predistortion system uses spectral regrowth filtering in a feedback path
thereof to reduce out-of-band error. An illustrative embodiment of the
system includes a predistortion circuit which generates a predistorted
signal, one or more signal processing elements configured to process the
predistorted signal, and a feedback processing circuit coupled between an
output of the one or more signal processing elements and a control input
of the predistortion circuit. Associated with the feedback processing
circuit is at least one spectral regrowth filter. The spectral regrowth
filter is configured to pass an out-of-band portion of a feedback signal
while attenuating an in-band portion of the feedback signal, and operates
in conjunction with the feedback processing circuit to control one or
more characteristics of the predistortion circuit.
