Distortion compensating device and power amplifying device with distortion compensating function

摘要

One divided signal divided into two by a dividing circuit is inputted to a gate of a source grounded FET through a first matching circuit. In a drain of the FET, a second harmonic having a phase and an amplitude in accordance with an impedance of the first matching circuit is generated and extracted in a band pass filter and then the amplitude is adjusted in an attenuation circuit to input to an addition circuit through a second matching circuit. In the addition circuit, the output of the second matching circuit is added to another divided signal of the dividing circuit and inputted to a power amplifier. The impedance in the first matching circuit affecting the phase of the second harmonic generated from the FET is set so that a distortion component generated in the power amplifier is compensated for by the second harmonic inputted in the addition circuit.
