Abstract:
A multi-band power amplifier in a wireless communication system includes: a plurality of matching circuits connected in parallel to an output stage of the power amplifier and corresponding to a plurality of different operation frequencies, respectively; and a plurality of high-frequency amplifiers connected to the plurality of matching circuits, respectively. The plurality of high-frequency amplifiers are selectively operated depending on the operation frequencies. Each of the high-frequency amplifiers may include a plurality of stages. Each of the matching circuits may include a high-frequency transformer.
Abstract:
Provided are a signal amplifying apparatus and method and a wireless transmitter using the same. The signal amplifier includes a polar coordinate converter configured to output an envelope signal and a phase signal by converting a signal to a polar coordinate, a multilevel quantizer configured to output a multilevel quantized signal by quantizing the envelope signal to multiple levels, an amplification state controller configured to control an amplification state using the multilevel quantized signal, and a power amplifier configured to amplify the phase signal according to the controlled amplification state.
