Abstract:
A switch mode power supply converter and a feedback delay compensation circuit are disclosed. The switch mode power supply converter has a switching voltage output and provides a switching voltage at the switching voltage output, such that a target voltage for a power amplifier supply voltage at a power amplifier supply output is based on the switching voltage. Further, the switching voltage is based on an early indication of a change of the target voltage. The feedback delay compensation circuit provides the early indication of the change of the target voltage.

The first resonator circuitry is configured to allow signals within a first frequency pass band to pass between the first intermediate node and the common node, while attenuating signals outside of the first frequency pass band. The first resonator circuitry includes a first LC resonator. The second resonator circuitry is configured to allow signals within a second frequency pass band to pass between the second intermediate node and the common node, while attenuating signals outside of the second frequency pass band.
Abstract:
Radio frequency (RF) duplexing devices and methods of operating the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, an RF duplexing device includes a transmission port, a receive port, a first duplexer, and a second duplexer. The first duplexer is coupled to the transmission port and the receive port, and is configured to provide a first phase shift from the transmission port to the receive port. The second duplexer is also coupled to the transmission port and the receive port. However, the second duplexer is configured to provide a second phase shift that is differential to the first phase shift from the transmission port to the receive port. By providing the second phase shift so that the second phase shift is differential to the first phase shift, the RF duplexing device can provide isolation through cancellation without needing to introduce significant insertion losses.
Abstract:
Envelope power supply circuitry includes power converter circuitry and envelope tracking circuitry. The power converter circuitry is configured to receive an envelope power converter control signal and a supply voltage and provide an envelope power supply signal for an amplifier from the supply voltage and based on the envelope power converter control signal. The envelope tracking circuitry is coupled to the power converter circuitry. In a first mode of operation, the envelope tracking circuitry is configured to provide the envelope power converter control signal such that a gain of the amplifier remains substantially constant over a range of input power provided to the amplifier. In a second mode of operation, the envelope tracking circuitry is configured to limit the dynamic range of the envelope power supply signal.
Abstract:
Envelope power supply circuitry is operated in one of an off-state, a standby-state, and a transmit-state. In the standby-state, select components in envelope power converter circuitry in the envelope power supply circuitry are turned on in order to charge one or more inductive and/or capacitive elements therein to a maximum value necessary for supporting transmission of signals about a maximum output power. Accordingly, the envelope power supply circuitry is able to prepare to support transmission about any output power without knowing the output power ahead of time.
Abstract:
A method for wireless charging power control is disclosed. In a wireless charging system, a wireless radio frequency (RF) charging signal transmitted by a wireless charging station is harvested and converted to a direct-current (DC) charging signal to charge a battery. To prevent overcharging damage to the battery, an effective charging power in the DC charging signal is measured and compared to a target charging power required by the battery. A battery charging signal indication (BCSI) is provided to the wireless charging station to decrease the effective charging power if the effective charging power is greater than the target charging power, or to increase the effective charging power if the effective charging power is less than the target charging power. By dynamically adjusting the effective charging power, it is possible to provide fast charging to the battery while protecting the battery from overcharging damage.
