An apparatus of a hybrid power modulator using interleaving switching is provided. The apparatus includes a linear switching unit for generating an output signal by comparing an envelope input signal and a feedback signal, an interleaving signal generator for generating an interleaving switching signal arranged not to supply the signal to input stages of P-type Metal-Oxide- Semiconductor (MOS) Field Effect Transistors (FETs) and N-type MOS FETs of power cells at the same time by comparing the output signal and a reference signal, and a switching amplifying unit for determining a level of the switching signal using the interleaving switching signal. Hence, the hybrid power modulator using the interleaving switching method in the envelope signal of the wide bandwidth maintains high efficiency and high linearity. In addition, the buck converter can use the single inductor by preventing the simultaneous on/off of the power cells.

The present invention relates to the control of power amplifiers in order to enhance the efficiency of the amplifier by tracking the envelope of input signal and applying the same envelope into the drain voltage of a last stage power transistor. This invention can be used in each and every wireless communication transmitter, since there is definitely a power amplifier in the last part of the transmitter before the antenna, and every power amplifier has limited power performance, depending on type of modulation, due to its input-output curve. We are aiming to enhance the power utility of power amplifiers in different applications through introducing a new method and circuit for supplying power into a power amplifier, wherein the power supplied to the drain of the power amplifier is made to follow the envelope of the transmitted RF signal. Embodiments of the invention provide for a drain power supply module to drive the drain of a power amplifier, wherein an array of parallel amplifiers is controlled, depending on the envelope, to switch at different phases.

An embodiment of an amplifier includes N ( N> 1) switch-mode power amplifier (SMPA) branches. Each SMPA branch includes two drive signal inputs and one SMPA branch output. A module coupled to the amplifier samples an input RF signal, and produces combinations of drive signals based on the samples. When an SMPA branch receives a first combination of drive signals, it produces an output signal at one voltage level. Conversely, when the SMPA branch receives a different second combination of drive signals, it produces the output signal at another voltage level. At least two of the SMPA branches produce output signals having different absolute magnitudes. A combiner combines the output signals from all of the SMPA branches to produce a combined output signal that may have, at any given time, one of 2* N +1 quantization states.
