ABSTRACT:
A control arrangement and method for controlling a gain and phase adjuster used for controlling the gain and phase of a compensation signal for compensating for the distortion produced by a power amplifier is disclosed. The control arrangement makes use of a reference signal, of known frequency, which is amplified along with the desired carrier signals. The reference signal component of the amplified signal is then isolated and a comparison is made, either with the actual reference signal, e.g., by a QAM demodulator, or alternatively with the known frequency of the reference signal, e.g., by a FM discriminator, in order to determine the differences in gain and in phase of the reference signal component of the amplified signal in comparison with the reference signal. For example, a QAM demodulator is used for producing a first difference signal indicative of the phase switch difference, and a second difference signal indicative of the gain switch difference. These signals are then correlated with the signal envelope of the main signal in order to produce signals indicative of the sign and magnitude of the control signals used to adjust the gain and phase adjuster in a feed back loop.
