The envelope tracking power supply includes a plurality of variable voltage supplies. A power supply controller of a power amplifier controls the plurality of variable voltage supplies so as to precisely divide the power supply voltage in a high frequency area, based on the voltage distribution of a received transmitted base band signal, in order to maximize the power added efficiency of the power amplifier. The power supply controller includes a threshold memory including a plurality of first zones, and a frequency memory including a plurality of second zones. The power supply controller changes the threshold held in the first zones so that each second zone approaches the average of the second zones.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transmission techniques that result in power savings relative to previous solutions. These techniques often transmit a signal-of-interest by using two paths, namely, a transmission path (which includes a power amplifier) and a control path. The signal-of-interest is evaluated in “fast-track” fashion on the control path, such that the control path can “tune” a DC supply signal provided to the power amplifier. Thus, when a delayed version of the signal-of-interest is provided over the transmission path to the power amplifier, the DC supply signal provided to the power amplifier helps ensure that the power amplifier has “just enough” DC supply to ensure reliable operation without dissipating excess power. In this way, the techniques disclosed herein help to reduce power consumption in transmitters, thereby potentially helping to extend battery life and reduce undesired heating for users.

An efficient power amplifier with a design which, even in cases when the phase characteristics of high frequency devices used in a main amp and peaking amp differ, reduces the combination loss of the two amps at a wide range of output levels. A class AB power amplifier (103) using an LDMOS device amplifies divided input signals, and a class AB power amplifier (104) using a GaN device amplifies the signals output from the power amplifier (103). Further, a class C power amplifier (107) using a GaN device amplifies ?/4 delayed input signals, and a class C power amplifier (108) using an LDMOS device amplifies the signals output from the power amplifier (107). A combining circuit (109) combines the signals which were amplified by the power amplifier (108) with the signals which were amplified by the power amplifier (104) and subjected to impedance conversion by an impedance converter circuit (105).

A receiver (e.g., for a 10G fiber communications link) includes an interleaved ADC coupled to a multi-channel equalizer that can provide different equalization for different ADC channels within the interleaved ADC. That is, the multi-channel equalizer can compensate for channel-dependent impairments. In one approach, the multi-channel equalizer is a feedforward equalizer (FFE) coupled to a Viterbi decoder, for example a sliding block Viterbi decoder (SBVD); and the FFE and/or the channel estimator for the Viterbi decoder are adapted using the LMS algorithm.

A CMOS transconductor for cancelling third-order intermodulation is provided. The transconductor includes a transconductance circuit and a tuneable distortion circuit. The transconductance circuit takes an input voltage and generates an output current having a transconductance element and an IM3 element. The distortion circuit takes the same input voltage and generates a current having an IM3 element of equal amplitude and opposite phase to the IM3 element of the transconductance circuit. A controller circuit tunes the distortion circuit to adjust its IM3 element to substantially equal the amplitude of the IM3 of the transconductance circuit. The distortion and transconductance circuits are arranged to sum their output currents thereby effectively cancelling the IM3 elements, leaving the transconductance relatively unmodified.

A programmable hybrid transmitter includes a baseband processing module, an up-conversion module, and a power amplifier circuit. The baseband processing module is coupled to convert outbound data into a complex signal when the programmable hybrid transmitter is in a first mode and to convert the outbound data into a normalized complex signal, offset information, and/or transmit property information when the programmable hybrid transmitter is in a second mode. The up-conversion module is coupled to mix the complex signal with a local oscillation to produce an up-converted signal when the programmable hybrid transmitter is in the first mode and to mix the normalized complex signal with the local oscillation based on the offset information to produce a normalized up-converted signal when the programmable hybrid transmitter is in the second mode. The power amplifier circuit is coupled to amplify the up-converted signal to produce an outbound RF signal when the programmable hybrid transmitter is in the first mode and to amplify the normalized up-converted signal based on the transmit property information to produce the outbound RF signal when the programmable hybrid transmitter is in the second mode.
