    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain a power amplifier with a monitoring device monitoring and protecting a system by providing a signal modulating means modulating the gain of an inputted signal and a monitor controlling means impressing a gain control signal to the signal modulating means. SOLUTION: Concerning a signal from power amplifiers PA-1 to PA-N, N inputted signal to be composed by a signal composer CB is impressed to a vector modulator 16 in a case when an RF switch 20 is on (closed), in order to provide an output signal impressed to a load L. A microcontroller MC controls the vector modulator for varying the phase and gain of an RF signal. In addition, the microcontroller MC monitors the operation of an amplifier system, varies the phase or gain of the RF signal and controls the operation of the switch 20 and a DC switch 40 to control the system. The signal modulating means varies the gain of the inputted signal and the monitor control means impresses the gain control signal to the signal modulating means in order to control the gain of the inputted signal.

    Abstract: The variable power supply (12) to an amplifier (10) in an electrical circuit is dynamically controlled through the use of a lookup table (14) responsive to one or more operating conditions of the electrical circuit. The lookup table is indexed by one or more of the operating conditions and the amount of amplification to be applied to an input signal to the amplifier is determined. One embodiment of the invention comprises a television transmitter circuit including a power amplifier circuit capable of amplifying a variable frequency COFDM or 8VSB input signal (11) where the amount of amplification applied to the input signal is dynamically controlled through the use of a lookup table as a function of the frequency of the input signal.

    Abstract: An RF wideband amplifier system is provided that includes an M way splitter (S) for receiving an RF input signal and splitting same into M RF signals for respective application to M power amplifier modules (PAM-1) to (PAM-M) that amplify the M signals and apply the amplified M signals to an M way combiner that applies an amplified RF signal to a load. A main controller (M.C.) provides an automatic level control reference signal, representative of the desired output power level of each of the power amplifier modules. Each power amplifier module includes an 2*N way balanced splitter(500) that receives one of the M RF signals and splits the signal into 2*N signal portions and the 2*N RF amplifiers (400-414) that respectively receive the 2* N signal portions and amplify same and provide therefrom 2*N amplified signal portions.

    Abstract: A directional coupler comprises a coupler circuit board which is mounted substantially perpendicular to the surface of a parent circuit board. First and second upper traces are disposed on the opposing surfaces of the coupler circuit board. The coupling between the upper electrically conductive traces determines the odd mode impedance of the coupler. First and second lower traces are also disposed on opposing surfaces and connected to ground. The upper and lower traces are arranged such that the even mode of the impedance is determined by the coupling between the first upper trace and the second lower trace and the coupling between the second upper trace and the first lower trace.

    Abstract: A power amplifier system is presented for use in amplifying an RF input signal comprising N sub-power amplifiers (PA-1 to PA-N) are connected in parallel with each receiving and amplifying a portion of the RF input signal. A combiner (CB) combines the amplified portions of the RF input signal to provide a combined output signal. Each sub-amplifier (PA-1 to PA-N) includes at least one transistor having an input port that receives a DC bias voltage and an output port, such that when the RF input signal is not present a quiescent current flows through the output port. A controller (M.C.) is operative when the RF signal is not present to check and adjust the magnitude of the quiescent current flowing in each of the sub-amplifier output ports in the sequence of 1 N.
