Abstract
A predistorter has a first capacitor and an impedance conversion circuit. A first end of the first capacitor is coupled to a first node of the amplifier. The impedance conversion circuit is used to perform an impedance conversion to provide a variable capacitance. The impedance conversion circuit has a first bias input circuit and a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The first bias input circuit is used to receive a first input bias. A base of the BJT is coupled to an output end of the first bias input circuit and a second end of the first capacitor, a collector of the BJT is floating, and an emitter of the BJT is coupled to a second node of the amplifier.
