The present application discloses a feed-forward amplifier device and the method thereof. The device comprises: a splitter for splitting an input signal into two portions; a non-linear amplifier for amplifying the input signal and producing inter-modulation products; a carrier canceling unit for generating pure inter-modulation products; a linear amplifier for amplifying the pure inter-modulation products; and a coupler for generating final output signal by counteracting the inter-modulation products with the amplified pure inter-modulation products; wherein the splitter and the carrier canceling unit are provided in digital base band. According to the present disclosure, pure inter-modulation products can be generated and adjusted more flexibly and more accurately in digital base band, and hence ideal output signal may be generated.

A wafer-scale assembly circuit including a plurality of metal interconnect layers, where each metal layer includes patterned metal portions and where at least some of the patterned metal portions are RF signal lines. The circuit further includes at least one benzocyclobutene layer provided between two metal interconnect layers that includes at least one trench via formed around a perimeter of the benzocyclobutene layer at a circuit sealing ring, where the trench via provides a hermetic seal at the sealing ring. The benzocyclobutene layer also includes a plurality of stabilizing post vias formed through the benzocyclobutene layer adjacent to the trench via proximate to the sealing ring and extending around the perimeter of the benzocyclobutene layer, where the stabilizing vias operate to prevent the benzocyclobutene layer from shrinking in size.

A method for controlling an input signal of a power amplifier is provided. The method comprise applying CFR to the input signal to obtain a processed input signal; determining a minimum CFR threshold; comparing the peak power of the power amplifier and an allowable peak power; and if the peak power is below the allowable peak power, determining a final CFR threshold by increasing the minimum CFR threshold, or if the peak power is not below the allowable peak power, reducing the average output power until peak power reaches the allowable peak power.
