The spectral efficiency in mobile communications has a great importance since

of her depends the capacity of the system. To obtain the desired spectral
efficiency is done necessary the use of spectrally efficient modulations. The
objection of these modulations is its fragility before the nonlinearities produced
by the power amplifiers.
Also it is very important the power efficiency since is desired to prolong the
maximum possible the batteries duration. This efficiency is obtained with class
AB, B or C amplifiers that are the ones that produce more nonlinearities.
To obtain power efficiency and spectral efficiency is necessary to eliminate the
nonlinearities of the amplifiers.
This document is the result of the study and the implementation of a possible
solution to eliminate the nonlinearities. The chosen solution is a digital
predistorter that runs over a digital signal processor (DSP).
As it is a system that runs in real time, is necessary that the code be more
efficient that be possible and to obtain it, the system is based on the use of
Lookup Tables (LUTs).
The result is a capable system to distort a modulated signal of controlled form.
The characterization of the nonlinearities of an amplifier can be loaded and the
predistorter will do the inverse operation in order to that the cascade
connection of predistorter and amplifier produce a lineal characteristic.
