A method of reducing distortion in the output of an amplifier is provided.
The method comprises subtractively combining an error signals with the
appropriate phase shift with input signals to be amplified. The error
signal being generated by subtractively combining a fed-forward portion
of the input signal with a portion of the fed-back amplified output
signal, and signal processing applied to it between its generation and
application to correcting the input signal in the baseband domain. The
error therefore being down-converted, filtered, and up-converted in the
feedback path. The filtered baseband error signal components providing
inputs to a controller which adjusts active elements of the amplification
and feedback path in order to minimize the distortion within the output
of the amplifier.
