    Abstract: According to the method and apparatus of the present disclosure, dual drain control uses a variable voltage supply on the drains of a first stage (302) and a second stage (304) to control the output power. In particular, dual drain control having a 1:1 ratio is employed at lower power levels, with single drain control at higher power levels. Such drain control could be employed by directly varying (1008, 1010) the voltage on the drains of the power amplifier, such as with signals from a microprocessor, or by a specific circuit (203) to generate the drain voltages based upon a control voltage.

    Abstract: A power amplifier load adjust system includes a power amplifier and a variable impedance network coupled to the output of the power amplifier. The variable impedance network presents a plurality of impedances to the output of the power amplifier responsive to a load control signal. A control circuit generates a transmit power command and a channel frequency command. Memory stores a plurality of control values as a function of output power and frequency. A processing circuit coupled to the variable impedance network, the control circuit, and the memory retrieves the plurality of control values and uses them to generate the load control signal in response to the transmit power command and the channel frequency command.
