Therefore, when storing such a table in which such a combination is registered for one power amplifier, it is possible to prevent variations in time required for distortion compensation for each power amplifier. It becomes possible.

- the initial value setting unit 1318 calculates an adjustment value corresponding to the transmission frequency “Hx” based on Equation 1 below.
- the calculated adjustment value is an approximate value of the slope of the tangent 43 at the point 33 of the curve 20 shown in FIG.
- the adjustment value corresponding to the transmission frequency is not registered in the adjustment value selection table 1317.

- the optimum adjustment value including the temperature change and the secular change is set as an initial value by adding the difference between the adjustment values read from the adjustment value selection table 1317 or calculated for the adjustment value.
- the initial value setting by the initial value setting unit 1318 causes the adaptive equalization processing unit 1306 of the adaptive equalizer 1304 to start adjusting the filter coefficient from the optimal position, so that the transmission amplifier 100 changes the transmission condition and performs transmission. Even when the process is resumed, it is possible to shorten the time from the start of the adjustment to each adjustment element until the distortion compensation of the power amplifier is optimized.
- the transmission frequency setting information 1313 is control information for the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 to set a plurality of frequencies having different values for the reference carrier wave generation unit 1315.
- the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 measures the frequency characteristic of the adjustment value that is a value used by the adaptive equivalent processing unit 1306 of the adaptive equalizer 1304 to determine the filter coefficient, and adjusts the combination of the adjustment value and the transmission frequency to the adjustment value.

That is, the adaptive equivalent processing unit 1306 of the adaptive equalizer 1304 selects a filter coefficient corresponding to the slope of the tangent 40 of the point 30 in the curve 20 from the filter coefficient group storage unit 1307 in FIG. To do.
- the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 obtains in advance slopes of tangents at several points on the curve 20 as adjustment values, and registers combinations of adjustment values and transmission frequencies in the adjustment value selection table 1317. Specifically, the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 initializes the distortion compensation coefficient output to the multiplier 1302 and the filter coefficient set in the digital filter 1305 in order to measure the characteristics of the power amplifier 1310 itself. A state where distortion compensation is not applied to 1310 is set.

Find the amount.
- the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 similarly determines the amount of change in the output power of the power amplifier 1310 at other transmission frequencies having different values based on the transmission frequency setting information 1313. Then, the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 uses the obtained change amount of the output power of the power amplifier 1310 as an adjustment value, and registers it in the adjustment value selection table 1317 in combination with the transmission frequency.

Then, the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 instructs the reference carrier generation unit 1315 to output a carrier wave at a frequency that is shifted from the predetermined frequency by a minute value (step S104).
- step S105 since the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 is notified of the value of the output power of the power amplifier 1310 from the feedback power detection unit 1316, the amount of change in the output power of the power amplifier 1310 at a predetermined transmission frequency is obtained (step S105). . Then, when the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 obtains the change amount of the output power of the power amplifier 1310 at all the transmission frequencies based on the transmission frequency setting information 1313 (Yes in step S106), the change amount of the output power is set as an adjustment value.

Then, the initial value setting unit 1318 sets the addition result as the initial value of the adjustment value of the adaptive equivalent processing unit 1306 (step S212), and ends the process.
- the transmission apparatus 1000 stores the adjustment value selection table 1317 in which combinations of adjustment values and transmission frequencies are registered.
- the initial value setting unit 1318 reads the adjustment value corresponding to the transmission frequency from the adjustment value selection table 1317, and the adaptive equivalent processing unit 1306 receives the filter of the digital filter 105. It is set as the initial value of the adjustment value for determining the coefficient. By doing so, the adjustment of the filter coefficient of the digital filter 1305 is started from the optimum place. Therefore, even when the transmission apparatus 1000 changes transmission conditions and restarts transmission, the transmission apparatus 1000 starts the adjustment and then adjusts the power amplifier. The time until the distortion compensation is optimized can be shortened.
- the convergence value of the adjustment value is read from the adaptive equivalent processing unit 1306, and the difference between the adjustment values read from the adjustment value selection table 1317 is added to the adjustment value, so that the temperature change and aging change can be obtained. It is possible to set an optimal adjustment value including the initial value.
- the adjustment of the filter coefficient of the digital filter 1305 since the adjustment of the filter coefficient of the digital filter 1305 is started from the optimum place, the adjustment of the filter coefficient does not greatly deviate. As a result, the adjustment of the filter coefficient adversely affects the calculation of other adjustment factors, and it is possible to prevent the distortion compensation feedback control from diverging in the worst case.
- the initial value setting unit 1318 calculates an approximate value of the corresponding adjustment value. By doing so, the combinations of adjustment values and transmission frequencies registered in the adjustment value selection table 1317 can be reduced, and the time required for the initial value measurement processing unit 1314 to create the adjustment value selection table 1317 can be shortened accordingly. It becomes possible.
