    Abstract: A power amplifier system (40) uses adaptive distribution of signals through an amplifier architecture of parallel amplifier stages (26 a-d). For example, the power amplifier system can adjust the operation of individual amplifier stages in the amplifier arrangement, for example to reduce power handling capability of the amplifier stages based on information of the signal to be amplified by the amplifier arrangement, such as the power level. To take advantage of the adjusted operation of the amplifier stages, the power amplifier system uses a variable power divider (48) to reapportion the input signal power among the amplifier stages and at least one variable combiner (50) to adaptively combine amplified signals from the amplifier stages in changing proportions. As such, the power amplifier system is reconfigurable and/or can adapt to changing conditions to provide improved performance and/or efficiency.

    Abstract: A signal amplification system involves transforming at least one signal to be amplified into at least one transformed signal which is amplified and the resulting amplified transformed signal(s) can be used to produce a version(s) of the at least one original signal. The at least one transformed signal can be produced from the at least one original signal by using the at least one original signal to amplitude and/or angle (phase or frequency) modulate the at least one original signal. After amplification of the at least one transformed signal, the resulting at least one amplified transformed signal is de-modulated to produce a version(s) of the at least one signal. In transforming the at least one original signal to produce the at least one transformed signal, the at least one original signal is transformed into a more desirable form, such as a more power efficient form, for amplification. By amplifying the at least one transformed signal, more efficient and/or less costly amplifier(s) can be used to amplify the at least one signal in a linear fashion. Depending on the embodiment, at least one signal to be amplified can be transformed into at least one transformed signal by combining offset versions of the at least one original signal to produce the at least one transformed signal having the energy of the at least one signal spread in time and/or to produce the at least one transformed signal having a reduced peak to average power ratio(s)(PAR). Multiple signals to be amplified can be transformed into at least one transformed signal by combining the multiple signals, for example to produce the at least one transformed signal having a reduced peak to average power ratio(s) (PARs). After the at least one transformed signal is amplified, the resulting signal(s) can be de-modulated, inversely transformed, de-spread or reconstructed to recover a version(s) of the original signal(s).

    Abstract: A feedforward amplifier (40A) and an amplification method using the feedforward amplifier include an equalizer (48) positioned in series with a main amplifier (50) and/or a correction amplifier of the feedforward amplifier to compensate for a non-flat frequency response of the main amplifier and/or correction amplifier. The equalizer can be a voltage controllable equalizer adjustable under electronic controls to accommodate changing circuit conditions, or an equalizer with fixed parameters. These equalizers are selectively used according to the need and desired performance. The feedforward amplifier and the method separately perform the equalization function and the linearizing function of the feedforward amplifier to provide a cost effective and efficient feedforward amplifier and amplification method.

    Abstract: A modularly-partitioned feedforward multicarrier linear RF power amplifier i s described. The circuitry and components of the power amplifier are segregated into physically-separate modules in accordance with several criteria. In one embodiment, the power amplifier is segregated into a RF power module, a linearizer module and a DC power supply module. The RF power module includes power- and frequency- dependent components and general ly varies with the carrier frequency and output power requirements for a specific application. The linearizer module includes circuitry and components that are substantially power- and frequency- independent. As such, the linearizer module is substantially invariant and a single design may be used for virtually any application. The DC power supply module includes circuit and components that are substantially frequency independent but somewhat power dependent. T he DC power supply module may vary from amplifier to amplifier where there is a significant change in output power requirements.
