Abstract

An I component compensation unit calculates an I component in which a distortion has been compensated, by forming a first polynomial expressing the distortion of the I component based on an I component and a Q component of a quadrature modulation signal and multiplying each term of the first polynomial by a first coefficient. A Q component compensation unit calculates a Q component in which a distortion has been compensated, by forming a second polynomial expressing the distortion of the Q component based on the I component and the Q component of the quadrature modulation signal and multiplying each term of the second polynomial by a second coefficient. A coefficient calculation unit calculates the first and second coefficients by comparing outputs of the I component compensation unit and the Q component compensation unit and a known signal.
