Abstract:
A polar transmitter includes an amplitude path comprising an amplitude signal that corresponds to an amplitude of a vector sum of an in-phase input signal and a quadrature input signal; a phase path comprising a phase modulator configured to phase-modulate a phase signal that corresponds to the phase of the vector sum of the in-phase input signal and the quadrature input signal; a digital power amplifier (DPA) configured to amplify the phase-modulated (PM) input signal based on the amplitude signal; a tunable matching network coupled to an output of the DPA and configured to adjust a load impedance of the DPA; and a controller configured to adjust the matching network based on a look-up table with respect to amplitude and frequency information, where the look-up table indicates a plurality of optimal operation modes of the matching network for specific combinations of amplitude and frequency information.
