Abstract:
Various apparatuses and methods for amplifying an FM signal in a segmented linear power amplifier are disclosed herein. For example, some embodiments provide an apparatus including a signal input, a signal output, and an output driver connected between the signal input and the signal output. The output driver includes a number of driver segments connected in parallel, each having an input connected to the signal input and each having an output. The output driver also includes a number of series capacitors, each associated with one of the driver segments. The series capacitors are each connected between the output of its associated driver segment and the signal output. The output driver also includes a number of shunt capacitors, each associated with one of the driver segments having an associated series capacitor. The shunt capacitors are each connected between the output of their associated driver segment and a ground.
