The waveform of compensated phase is shown as Fig. 5.
The compensated phase amount to adding high frequency
signals to the ideal phase signal. The higher the data rate
transmitted, the high frequency signals amplitude rose
much more,
compensate higher for
rem
up
which means the changing rate of the
d phase range should be much more
edying more attenuation of PLL. Phase shifting also
exists to compensate the phase response of PLL.

Fig. 7 (a) shows the ideal phase power spectrum, Fig. 7
(c) shows the modulated signal after the ideal phase passing
through PLL, there is obviously power suppression on the
frequency outside the loop band. Besides there is amplitude
overshooting inside the band. Both of them would lead to
phase distortion. Fig. 7 (b) shows the compensated phase
power spectrum, high frequency signal outside the band is
enhanced and part of the signals inside the loop is depressed
to balance the suppression outside the band and the
overshoot inside the band. Fig. 7 (d) is the modulated phase
power spectrum of the PLL output by compensated phase
passing through PLL, there is less distortion compared with
ideal phase signal and is more similar with Fig. 7 (a).
Through the pre-distortion filter the modulated phase
error is improved greatly. Fig. 8 depicts the phase error

V. CONCLUSION
In this paper a pre-distortion filter is proposed for the
high data rate phase modulation. By this structure the data
rate limitation is relieved in the PLL-based phase modulator.
Besides the phase modulation error is reduced effectively.
One issue with predistortion filter is that there is a condition
to improve data rate. The data rate can be raised M times
only by the maximum fractional dividing ratio less than 1
after compensated. Using the pre-distortion filter to improve
the wideband phase modulation, the maximum data rate can
