Abstract:
A front end radio architecture (FERA) with power management is disclosed. The FERA includes a first power amplifier (PA) block having a first-first PA and a first-second PA, and a second PA block having a second-first PA and a second-second PA. First and second modulated switchers are adapted to selectively supply power to the first-first PA and the second-first PA, and to supply power to the first-second PA and the second-second PA, respectively. The first and second modulated switchers have a modulation bandwidth of at least 20 MHz and are both suitable for envelope tracking modulation. A control system is adapted to selectively enable and disable the first-first PA, first-second PA, the second-first PA, and the second-second PA. First and second switches are responsive to control signals to route carriers and received signals between first and second antennas depending upon a selectable mode of operation such as intra-band or inter-band operation.
