InactiveUS7183847B2Correct distortion compensationSimple processAmplifier modifications to reduce non-linear distortionAmplifier modifications to reduce noise influenceMulti bandAudio power amplifier
A predistorter compensates, with high accuracy, for a distortion in each frequency band by a power amplifier that amplifies a transmission signal containing multiple frequency bands whose center frequencies are widely spaced apart. Signals of the respective frequency bands are extracted by multiple band signal extractors from the input signal containing transmission signals of multiple frequency bands; differences between the extracted signals and the output signal from the power amplifier are detected by multiple difference detectors in the respective bands; the detected difference signals are used as reference signals to read out compensation data from look-up tables for the respective frequency bands; the compensation data is added by multiple adders to the extracted transmission signals of the respective frequency bands; and the added outputs are combined by a combiner to provide the output signal from the predistorter.

An ion generating apparatus 1 has an electric cleaning mechanism 79 for burning out attachment adhered on an ion generating electrode 7 by electric heating. Adhesion of dirt and the like onto the end portion of the electrode where an electron generation field concentrates will considerably ruin the ion generation efficiency. So that burning out of attachment adhered onto the end portion 7a of the ion generating electrode 7 using the electric cleaning mechanism 79 is extremely effective in terms of avoiding such nonconformity. Object of the cleaning will be attained to a sufficient degree if only the dirt adhered onto the sharpened end portion of the electrode 7, which is responsible for the ion generation, is selectively removed, which is also advantageous in simplifying the apparatus since there is no need to excessively raise the electric heating capacity of the electric cleaning mechanism 79.
