A system, apparatus, method and article to provide compensation of non-linear transmitter distortion are described. The apparatus may include a receiver node (130) to receive information from a transmitter node (120). The receiver node (130) may include a clipping ratio estimation module (142) to determine parameters of non-linearity of a transmitter at the receiver node (130), a training signal predistortion block (150) to generate predistorted training symbols at the receiver node (130) using the parameters of non-linearity, and a channel equalization block (146) to performing linear equalization at the receiver node (130) using the predistorted training symbols. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
