Patent attributes
The distortion compensating apparatus, which adaptively updates a distortion compensation coefficient for an amplifier based on a difference between input and output signals of the amplifier, comprises: a distortion amount detector which detects the amount of distortion of an output signal of the amplifier; a parameter holder which holds a parameter having been set therein; a parameter corrector which corrects the parameter in such a manner that the distortion amount detected by the detector is improved; a power monitor which monitors output power of the amplifier or a factor of variation in the power; and a controller which halts, if a monitoring result by the power monitor is smaller than a specified threshold value, the correction of the parameter. This arrangement makes it possible to accurately set the parameter relating to difference detection which is a factor of updating of distortion compensation coefficients of the distortion compensating apparatus.
