In a modulation system using an amplitude and a phase of a carrier wave as information such as a QPSK system, a modulation device modifies an input signal series to compensate the nonlinear characteristics of an amplifier located at a later stage, and provides a carrier wave modulated by the modified signal series to the amplifier. A first arithmetic circuit obtains an amplitude and a phase of an input signal by calculation. A ROM is set with correction data corresponding to the calculated amplitude so as to compensate the nonlinearity of the amplifier. A modification value generating circuit and a RAM output an amount of compensation so as to further modify the correction data according to part of an output signal from the amplifier to compensate amplifier characteristic changes due to temperature variations and the like. A second arithmetic circuit provides a signal series produced from the modified amplitude and phase to a quadrature modulator.
A modulation device for modulating a carrier with a sample series of a complex signal and inputting the modulated carrier to an amplifier producing amplitude and phase distortions, comprising:
