A RF base station transmitter includes a feed-forward power amplifier 201 and a simulated carrier generator 203 operatively coupled to the feed-forward power amplifier prior to its carrier cancellation loop (117, Fig. 1). The simulated carrier generator provides a simulated carrier signal input to the amplifier. The base station transmitter also includes a processor 105 which performs tuning of the carrier cancellation loop using the simulated carrier signal when the processor determines that a carrier signal is not present in a signal to be transmitted. The transmitter also has an output switch 209 for decoupling and output of the amplifier from the transmitter, or/and an input switch 208 for decoupling an input of the amplifier from the transmitter. The carrier cancellation loop includes a gain shifter and a phase shifter 211.
