Abstract

A transmitter includes generating unit configured to generate a feedback signal and an analyzing unit configured to analyze transmission quality in a time domain and in a frequency domain by using the feedback signal. The transmitter also includes an adapting unit configured to adapt the pre-distorter if the transmission quality is below the threshold.
