A digital predistortion circuit and method with extended operating range includes a predistortion function, a D/A converter, a multiplier for performing frequency translation and a power amplifier. The digital predistortion circuit includes a multiplier for receiving a signal to be transmitted and a gain correction factor, multiplying the gain correction factor with the signal to be transmitted, and outputting a result of the multiplication to the predistortion function, as well as a device for calculating the gain correction factor by using a predetermined reference gain and an estimated gain of the power amplifier, and outputting the calculated gain correction factor to the multiplier, whereby a gain of the power amplifier is quickly corrected. The digital predistortion circuit and the method thereof produce acceptable results for a more expanded range of TX power levels. |
