A method of compensating delay in a linearization loop of a power amplifier and a linearization arrangement of a power amplifier, which arrangement comprises an I/Q modulator (10), one or more power amplifiers (13) to be linearized and generating delay, and a feedback loop comprising an I/Q demodulator (11) when the I/Q modulator (10) and the I/Q demodulator (11) derive an oscillator frequency from the same local oscillator (14). In accordance with the invention, the delay generated by the power amplifier in the feedback is compensated by delaying a local oscillator signal applied to the I/Q demodulator (11). The delay of the local oscillator signal applied to the I/Q demodulator (11) is generated by an amplifier optimized to have a great delay, preferably by a small-signal amplifier. |
