Abstract:
A high efficiency radio frequency (RF) power amplifier having dynamically controlled back off is disclosed. The RF input voltage is sampled by an adaptive analog signal processing circuit. The adaptive analog signal processing circuit controls the supply voltage to RF amplifier devices, such as LDMOS devices, which varies the efficiency or back off of the power amplifier. The variable supply voltage in turn varies peak power of the amplifier.
Abstract:
The number of components of a high frequency power amplifier is reduced. A bias resistance ratio is adjusted in accordance with a change in the threshold voltage Vth of a transistor. A high frequency power amplifier has a plurality of amplifying systems. Each of these systems has an input terminal to which a signal to be amplified is supplied, an output terminal, a bias terminal, a plurality of amplifying stages which are sequentially cascaded between the input and output terminals, and a bias circuit connected to the bias terminal and each of the amplifying stages to apply a bias potential to the amplifying stage. The amplifying stage includes a control terminal for receiving an input signal and the bias potential supplied to the stage and a first terminal for transmitting an output signal of the stage.
Abstract:
When a power amplifier control loop operates near or in saturation, the quality of the output signal can be degraded and an over current condition can occur. To prevent this, the output signal of the power amplifier is detected, converted to digital, and then converted into the frequency spectrum by means of a Fast Fourier Transform. The spectral characteristics of the output signal are analyzed to determine if the power amplifier control loop is approaching or operating in saturation mode. This determination is made by looking at the power of the output signal at various frequencies. If the output at these frequencies exceeds a threshold value, the power amplifier control loop is approaching saturation. In this situation, the output of the power amplifier can be adjusted to prevent loop saturation. This can be accomplished by reducing the supply voltage to the power amplifier or adjusting the bias voltage.

In a receiving circuit, an antenna 11 receives a high-frequency signal at a predetermined frequency band, a level changing section 13 changes a signal level of the high-frequency signal received by the antenna, a subsequent-stage circuit 14 performs predetermined signal processing for the high-frequency signal whose signal level is changed at the level changing section 13, a detecting section 32 detects a signal level of the high-frequency signal for which the signal processing is performed by the subsequent-stage circuit 14, and a control section 33 sets a rate of change of the high-frequency signal by the level changing section 13, based on the signal level of the high-frequency signal detected by the detecting section 32, so that the signal level of the high-frequency signal detected by the detecting section 32 does not exceed a predetermined value.
Abstract:
A translation loop modulator and power amplifier in a phase and amplitude modulated transmission environment includes a translation loop having a phase locked loop and that is configured to receive a first modulated signal (PM) and that is also configured to provide a frequency specific modulated signal. The invention also includes a power amplifier configured to receive the frequency specific modulated signal, a variable gain element configured to provide a second modulated signal (AM) to the power amplifier and a switching element configured to receive a portion of an output of the translation loop and a portion of an output power of the power amplifier. The switching element is configured to apply the output portion of the translation loop to an input of the translation loop during a first time period and apply the detected output power portion of the power amplifier to the input of the translation loop during a second time period, thus allowing the phase locked loop in the translation loop to correct for any phase shift caused by the power amplifier.
