<p>A transmitter has a power amplifier amplifying a radio frequency transmit signal. The radio frequency transmit signal is a non-constant envelope modulated signal. The power amplifier has a first compression point. In a method for sliding a compression point in the transmitter, the power amplifier is operated at a first backoff from the first compression point such that a given adjacent channel power ratio requirement is met for a first peak-to-average ratio of the radio frequency transmit signal. The first compression point is slide to a second compression point for a second peak-to-average ratio of the radio frequency transmit signal, the second compression point being lower than the first compression point. The first and second peak-to-average ratios are dependent on information content of the non-constant envelope modulated signal.</p> |
