ABSTRACT:
A linearity correction circuit for television transmission operates at intermediate frequency to introduce appropriate pre-distortion into the amplitude envelope to compensate for non-linearity in the power amplifier states. An array of parallel current sources (11), each of which is independently adjustable in response to the perceived requirement for pre-distortion over a corresponding amplitude band, to inject a current sufficient to introduce an appropriate differential voltage at the output. The circuit provides for the independent correction of each amplitude band, so that it is capable of operation under microprocessor control in real time.
