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.

A method for generating a multi-band signal transforms multiple base-band envelope signals into a sequence of symbols representing a signal including a plurality of disjoint frequency bands. Each frequency band corresponds to a single base-band envelope signal. Each symbol corresponds to amplitude of the signal and is a number selected from a finite set of numbers. The method encodes the sequence of symbols as a plurality of pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. Each PWM signal includes a plurality of codes for encoding each symbol, such that a sum of values of the codes of the set of PWM signals encoding a symbol is proportional to a value of the symbol. The method amplifies the PWM signals to produce a plurality of amplified signals and combines the amplified signals to produce the multi-band signal.

A wideband harmonic trap includes a first resonant tank in the form of a parallel LC circuit, and a second resonant tank in the form of a series LC circuit. The LC circuits are connected to a common input, an output of the parallel LC circuit is connected to a load and to ground via a shunt capacitor, and an output of the series LC circuit is connected to the ground.
