System for amplifier linearization with envelope feedback
Abstract:
An amplifier with linearization feedback includes an amplification stage that receives a feedback control signal from an envelope detection feedback network. The envelope detection feedback network controls the gain of the amplification stage based on an envelope of an input signal of the amplification stage, an envelope of an attenuated version of an amplified output signal of the amplification stage, and an offset adjustment signal generated by an offset calibration block. The envelope detection feedback network can include single stage or multiple stage envelope detectors. The amplification stage can include multiple, serially connected amplifiers. The gain of at least one amplifier in the amplification stage may be controlled by the feedback control signal. Additionally, the gain of some of the amplifiers in the amplification stage may be controlled digitally by gain adjustment signals based on comparing the feedback control signal to one or more reference signals.
