A signal pre-processor, for at least partially correcting non-linear performance of a high power amplifier (“HPA”), operates on an over-sampled signal in complex form in the digital domain. By converting the over-sampled signal to amplitude values, the pre-processor is enabled to apply correction values, based on the amplitude values, which correction values incorporate both amplitude and phase correction in respect of distortion generated in the HPA. The use of an over-sampled signal allows out-of-band correction values to be applied to correct out-of-band distortion arising in the signal processing path, for instance in the linearization process itself. The out-of-band distortion can otherwise alias back in-band, creating noise at the HPA.
