    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a radio station (1) providing a digital predistortion (24) to be imposed on a payload signal (15). The digital predistortion (24) is usable as a general predistortion for several transmit paths (70-1, ..., 70-N) of the radio station (1). The radio station (1) provides coupled transmit signals (80-1, ..., 80-N) to be combined within a combiner (100) forming a common feedback signal (155). The common feedback signal (155) is relayed along a common feedback path (150). A digital predistortion update unit (22) is adapted to update the digital predistortion (24) in order to linearise a transfer characteristics of the transmit paths (70-1, ..., 70-N). The disclosure further relates to a method of digitally predistorting a payload signal (15) in order to linearise a transmit characteristics of the transmit paths (70-1, ..., 70-N).

    摘要: It is proposed herein to improve the specifications of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) by integrating itin a chip. In order to cover a range of operating frequencies using a single chip, the integrated-circuit amplifier proposed herein comprises an input port configured to receive a magnetic resonance (MR) signal from a radio-frequency (RF) coil, one or more LNAs configured to amplify the received MR signal, and an output port configured to output the amplified MR signal from the oneor more LNAs. The operating frequencyofthe RF coil depends on the field strength, The matching circuit, if present, needs to be tuned to operate at the operating frequency of the RF coil, and depends on the component values in the loop, thus on loop size. In contrast, the proposed integrated-circuit amplifier is capable of directly connecting to RF coils with different loop sizes, without the need for a matching circuit.

    摘要: An RF power amplifier for amplifying an RF signal over a broad range of power with improved efficiency includes a main amplifier (20) for amplifying an RF signal over a first range of power and with a power saturation level below the maximum of the broad range of power. A plurality of auxiliary amplifiers (21, 22, 23) are connected in parallel with the main amplifier (20) with each of the auxiliary amplifiers (21, 22, 23) being biased to sequentially provide an amplified output signal after the main amplifier (20) approaches saturation. The input signal is applied through a signal splitter (32) to the main amplifier (20) and the plurality of auxiliary amplifiers (21, 22, 23), and an output for receiving amplified output signals from the main amplifier (20) and the plurality of auxiliary amplifiers (21, 22, 23) includes a resistive load R/2. The split input signal is applied through a 90° transformer (30) to the main amplifier (20), and the outputs of the auxiliary amplifiers (21, 22, 23) are applied through 90° transformers (24, 25, 26) to a output load (28). When operating below saturation, the main amplifier (20) delivers power to a load of 2R and the main amplifier (20) delivers current to the load which is one-half the current at maximum power and the amplifier is saturated.

    摘要: [PROBLEMS] To provide, for example, a pulse input type power amplifying apparatus that can be operated at low voltage and low power, effectively suppressing generation of harmonic component. [MEANS FOR SOLVING THE PROBLEMS] The amplifying apparatus includes at least two amplification circuits, one and other amplification circuits, composed of multiple amplifiers whose output sides are connected to each other, driven at the same frequency. The multiple amplifiers forming the one amplification circuit are configured with a first inverting amplifier M12 inputting and amplifying a reference pulse, and a second inverting amplifier M11 to which an inverted pulse formed by shifting and inverting the phase of the reference pulse is inputted. The other amplification circuit is configured with the first inverting amplifier M14 and the second inverting amplifier M13 to each of which other wide pulse with a width greater than that of the reference pulse is commonly inputted.

    摘要: A power amplifier system is presented for use in amplifying an RF input signal comprising N sub-power amplifiers (PA-1 to PA-N) are connected in parallel with each receiving and amplifying a portion of the RF input signal. A combiner (CB) combines the amplified portions of the RF input signal to provide a combined output signal. Each sub-amplifier (PA-1 to PA-N) includes at least one transistor having an input port that receives a DC bias voltage and an output port, such that when the RF input signal is not present a quiescent current flows through the output port. A controller (M.C.) is operative when the RF signal is not present to check and adjust the magnitude of the quiescent current flowing in each of the sub-amplifier output ports in the sequence of 1 N.
