Abstract:
The present disclosure illustrates a feedforward controlled envelope modulator and a feedforward control circuit thereof. The feedforward controlled envelope modulator comprises a linear amplifier circuit, a switching amplifier, and a feedforward control circuit. The linear amplifier circuit amplifies an input voltage signal, so as to output an output voltage signal to a load node. The switching amplifier receives a comparison signal, and outputs a switching current to the load node according to the comparison signal. The feedforward control circuit comprises a duplicate linear amplifier circuit and a hysteresis comparator. The duplicate linear amplifier circuit amplifies the input voltage signal, so as to output a reference voltage signal, wherein an amplifying gain of the duplicate linear amplifier circuit is identical to an amplifying gain of the linear amplifier circuit. The hysteresis comparator compares the output voltage signal and the reference voltage signal, so as to output the comparison signal.
