Noun

digital predistortion (countable and uncountable, plural digital predistortions)

  1. (electronics) A technique used to increase linearity or compensate for nonlinearity in power amplifiers.

      The result will be the enhancement of the RF performance by means of digital signal processing techniques such as digital predistortion for PA linearization , improved DC-offset compensation for zero-IF receivers, or the above described on-chip calibration of an image-reject receiver (section 8.3.3).

      However, the extra cost arising from couplers and other components makes such techniques much more expensive than the digital predistortion technique.
