A method of enhancing the power transmitted from a satellite includes the steps of modulating a carrier signal at an Earth station. The non-linearity is established of a downlink amplifier on the satellite. The modulated carrier signal is to compensate for the non-linearity of the downlink and/or the uplink amplifiers. The predistorted modulated carrier signal is transmitted in an uplink to the satellite. The uplink carrier is amplified in the downlink amplifier. A downlink signal is to an Earth station, whereby the downlink signal compensates for non-linearities in the downlink amplifier to thereby optimize amplification with minimum distortion of the signals. A system for implementing the method is described.
