Pre-distortion, whose magnitude-and preferably phase-are frequency-dependent, is applied to an input signal in order to reduce spurious emissions resulting from subsequent amplification of the signal. In preferred embodiments, the pre-distortion technique of the present invention is implemented in combination with the (frequency-independent) magnitude and phase pre-distortion technique described in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/395,490 ("the '490 application"), where the frequency-dependent pre-distortion corresponds to amplifier distortion that has a magnitude that is proportional to the frequency offset from the carrier frequency and a phase shift of ±90° on either side of the carrier frequency. The frequency-dependent pre-distortion is generated by differentiating waveforms corresponding to pre-distortion parameters with respect to time and then applying the resulting differentiated pre-distortion parameters to the input signal. Depending on the implementation, the waveforms may be differentiated in either the analog or digital domain.
