摘要： A power amplifier system (40) uses adaptive distribution of signals through an amplifier architecture of parallel amplifier stages (26 a-d). For example, the power amplifier system can adjust the operation of individual amplifier stages in the amplifier arrangement, for example to reduce power handling capability of the amplifier stages based on information of the signal to be amplified by the amplifier arrangement, such as the power level. To take advantage of the adjusted operation of the amplifier stages, the power amplifier system uses a variable power divider (48) to reapportion the input signal power among the amplifier stages and at least one variable combiner (50) to adaptively combine amplified signals from the amplifier stages in changing proportions. As such, the power amplifier system is reconfigurable and/or can adapt to changing conditions to provide improved performance and/or efficiency.

摘要： A gain and phase control system performs a gain (or phase) adjustment based on the results of a previous gain (or phase) adjustment after an intervening phase (or gain) adjustment. A gain adjustment is based on the results of a previous gain adjustment rather than on the results of an intervening phase adjustment. A phase adjustment is based on the results of a previous phase adjustment rather than the results of an intervening gain adjustment. As such, the above-mentioned increase in error signal does not occur because a gain adjustment is based on the results of the previous gain adjustment, and a phase adjustment is based on the results of the previous phase adjustments. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, the gain and phase control system makes a gain (or phase) adjustment in parallel with detecting the results from a previous phase (or gain) adjustment, thereby taking advantage of the delay between adjustment and detection of the resulting error signal to improve the convergence rate. For example, the gain and phase control system can perform single alternating gain and phase adjustments and make a gain (or phase) adjustment while detecting the error signal resulting from a preceding phase (or gain) adjustment. When the error signal resulting from the gain (or phase) adjustment is being detected, the gain and phase control system makes a phase (or gain) adjustment using the results detected from the preceding phase (or gain) adjustment.

摘要： A signal amplification system involves transforming at least one signal to be amplified into at least one transformed signal which is amplified and the resulting amplified transformed signal(s) can be used to produce a version(s) of the at least one original signal. The at least one transformed signal can be produced from the at least one original signal by using the at least one original signal to amplitude and/or angle (phase or frequency) modulate the at least one original signal. After amplification of the at least one transformed signal, the resulting at least one amplified transformed signal is de-modulated to produce a version(s) of the at least one signal. In transforming the at least one original signal to produce the at least one transformed signal, the at least one original signal is transformed into a more desirable form, such as a more power efficient form, for amplification. By amplifying the at least one transformed signal, more efficient and/or less costly amplifier(s) can be used to amplify the at least one signal in a linear fashion. Depending on the embodiment, at least one signal to be amplified can be transformed into at least one transformed signal by combining offset versions of the at least one original signal to produce the at least one transformed signal having the energy of the at least one signal spread in time and/or to produce the at least one transformed signal having a reduced peak to average power ratio(s)(PAR). Multiple signals to be amplified can be transformed into at least one transformed signal by combining the multiple signals, for example to produce the at least one transformed signal having a reduced peak to average power ratio(s) (PARs). After the at least one transformed signal is amplified, the resulting signal(s) can be de-modulated, inversely transformed, de-spread or reconstructed to recover a version(s) of the original signal(s).

摘要： An adaptive gain and/or phase control system adapts the gain and/or phase adjustment resolution to provide improved performance. For example, the adaptive gain and/or phase control system can dynamically adjust the adjustment resolution for gain and/or phase adjustments as a function of the error signal(s). In response to a large error signal(s) (far from the null), the adaptive gain/or phase control system decreases the adjustment resolution, resulting in a faster convergence rate. In a feed forward distortion reduction system, decreasing the adjustment resolution improves the transient response of the amplifier (for example, given any set of operating conditions, how quickly the amplifier responds to a changing input). As phase or gain adjustments are made to approach the null, the error signal reduces, and the adaptive distortion reduction system increases the adjustment resolution. By increasing the adjustment resolution as the error signal approaches the null, finer phase or gain adjustments can be made which further reduce the error signal. For example, in a feed forward distortion reduction system, such a scheme prevents the error signal from repeatedly jumping over the null due to limited resolution without sacrificing the transient response of the amplifier.
