摘要:
A system and method for transmitting a baseband real signal with a non-constant envelope using a polar transmitter involves decomposing a baseband real signal into a non-constant envelope signal of the baseband real signal and a sign signal of the baseband real signal, where the sign signal restores zero crossing regions of the non-constant envelope signal, modulating a carrier signal with the sign signal of the baseband real signal to generate a modulated signal, converting the non-constant envelope signal of the baseband real signal into a voltage signal using a voltage controlled supply regulator, amplifying the modulated signal into an amplified signal based on the voltage signal, and transmitting the amplified signal to an external wireless device.
摘要:
An electronic circuit has an amplifier with an amplifying transistor and a cascode transistor. A capacitive voltage divider applies a fraction of an RF signal swing from the drain of the cascode transistor to the gate of the cascode transistor, the fraction being determined by a ratio between capacitance values. In addition a bias voltage supply circuit is provided. The bias voltage supply circuit is configured to define a relation between an average gate voltage of the cascode transistor and an average drain supply voltage at the drain of the cascode transistor. This relation increases the average gate voltage with increasing average drain voltage, and the relation provides a non zero average gate voltage when extrapolated to zero average drain supply voltage.
