摘要:
A fully differential, variable gain amplifier comprising an input, an intermediate stage and an output stage, the input stage (100) being coupled to the intermediate stage (200) and the intermediate stage being coupled to the output stage (300). The input stage comprises an amplifier with local feedback means and voltage-to-current conversion means. The intermediate stage has nodes that are shared by the input stage, the output stage and the intermediate stage, respectively, which are connected to the reference node via a relatively low impedance branch. The intermediate stage further comprises current controlled networks coupled to the common nodes via a first feedback branches and branches to the input stage via second feedback branches. The amplifier has means for controlling the gain and the bandwidth independently of one another.

A predistortion correction method, a predistortion correction apparatus, a transmitter, and a base station are provided. The method includes: performing, based on a digital predistortion model, non-linear processing on an input transmit signal to obtain higher-order distortion time-domain signals; and obtaining, after performing processing on the higher-order distortion time-domain signals, a predistortion signal to be input to a power amplifier, where a process of converting the higher-order distortion time-domain signals to the predistortion signal includes bandwidth limitation processing, so that the predistortion signal to be input to the power amplifier is a predistortion signal within a preset bandwidth. Embodiments of the present invention can ensure predistortion accuracy, and can also reduce a requirement for a bandwidth and a sampling rate of a feedback channel, thereby reducing a predistortion cost.

摘要:
A wideband self-envelope tracking power amplifier (PA) can use more than a 40-MHz channel bandwidth and improves the envelope bandwidth limit of a self-envelope tracking PAs by ten times. The PA uses an envelope load network, which is based on a general multi-stage low-pass filter. The envelope load network located between an RF choke inductor and main DC power supply provides a dynamically modulated PA supply voltage without using a dedicated envelope amplifier. An input terminal of the network connects a main PA via an RF choke inductor to an input of low-pass filter. An output terminal is connected to the low-pass filter via an envelope choke inductor and to a direct current (DC) power supply. A DC blocker is connected between the output of the low-pass filter and ground by a termination resistor.
