Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance efficiency in using power amplifier.
SOLUTION: A power amplifier circuit device includes a driver amplifier, a switch, an amplifier path having a band pass filter and a power amplifier, and a bypass path which bypasses the power amplifier when excess gain and output power are not needed. When an RF-analog signal from the driver amplifier is switched to the amplifier path, the signal is band-pass filtered and amplified. Then the signal is split into an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal. Either the in-phase or quadrature signal is inverted and summed with the other in-phase or quadrature signal, and the summed signal is transmitted to an output port. When the RF-signal from the driver amplifier is switched to the bypass path, the power amplifier is turned off and the bypass path directs the signal to the output of the power amplifier, which appears as a high impedance to the signal. The signal is reflected from the power amplifier to the output port.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an amplifier circuit having a high linearity mode of operation and a high efficiency mode of operation.
SOLUTION: An amplifier circuit (100) has a high linearity mode operation and a high efficiency mode of operation. The amplifier circuit (100) comprises a plurality of amplifier (104a-104n) each having a variable active device periphery and a variable supply voltage; and a control circuit (102), coupled to the amplifiers (104a-104n).

Abstract: An amplifier circuit for providing an amplified signal in response to an input signal. The amplifier circuit includes an input network for applying the input signal to a selected at least one of a plurality of amplifier stages. An output network is provided for coupling the amplified signal from the selected at least one amplifier stage. The appropriate amplifier stage is selected by a control circuit in response to a desired power value of the amplified signal. By selectively activating only the amplifier stage(s) that are necessary to provide the desired level of output power, increased DC efficiency can be accomplished in applications that require an amplifier which operates linearly over a wide dynamic range.
