    Abstract: In a method of generating a pulse-shaped transmitted output signal having a definable pulse shape in a multistage amplifier arrangement, the course of the “pulse top” (upper edge) of the transmitted signal is determined by control signals at the amplifier stages. The control signals of the amplifier stages are definable such that the control signal of an amplifier stage in each case comprises a number of pulse sections of a predefinable frame pulse. The tops of the pulse sections each having a predefinable constant gradient. A predistortion is introduced into the control signals in this manner, having a course which offsets distortion of the pulse top which results when no predistortion is used.

    Abstract: An amplifying system with increased linearity is disclosed. The amplifying system includes a first gain stage with a first gain characteristic, a second gain stage with a second gain characteristic, and bias circuitry configured to substantially maintain alignment of distortion inflection points between the first gain characteristic and the second gain characteristic during operation. The bias circuitry is configured to further maintain alignment of the distortion inflection points between the first gain characteristic and the second gain characteristic over design corners by providing substantially constant headroom between quiescent bias voltage and turnoff of the first gain stage and the second gain stage. In some embodiments the first gain characteristic is expansive and the second gain characteristic is compressive. In other embodiments the first gain characteristic is compressive and the second gain characteristic is expansive. In some embodiments the first gain stage is configured to provide RF degeneration control of gain.

    Abstract: A linearization circuit reduces intermodulation distortion in a parallel amplifier that includes a first stage and a second stage. The linearization circuit receives a first signal that includes a first frequency and a second frequency and generates a difference signal having a frequency approximately equal to the difference of the first frequency and the second frequency, generates an envelope signal based at least in part on a power level of the first signal, and adjusts a magnitude of the difference signal based on the envelope signal. When the parallel amplifier receives the first signal at an input terminal, the first stage receives the adjusted signal, and the second stage does not receive the adjusted signal, intermodulation between the adjusted signal and the first signal cancels at least a portion of the intermodulation between the first frequency and the second frequency from the output of the parallel amplifier.

    Abstract: Systems and methods in which an ultrasonic signal is introduced into an audio signal before the audio signal is amplified by a switching amplifier. The added ultrasonic signal (e.g., a tone at half the amplifier's switching frequency) shifts the signals input to a set of power switches so that they do not switch nearly simultaneously. The ultrasonic signal causes the output current to be well defined to eliminate dead time distortion at low signal levels. Adding the tone ultrasonic signal causes the distortion to shift to an amplitude greater than zero. Signals that exceed this amplitude will experience the distortion, but the distortion will be less noticeable than in lower-amplitude signals. Signals that do not exceed this amplitude will not experience the distortion at all. Adding an ultrasonic signal may also draw energy away from the switch frequency and its harmonics to interference with AM radio reception.

    Abstract: The invention relates notably to a method for clipping a wideband signal in order to eliminate signal overshots having an amplitude above a predefined threshold before submitting the wideband signal to a power amplifier. According to the invention, the method comprises the steps of: i. subtracting from the wideband signal filtered pulses in phase the said wideband signal, each filtered pulse corresponding to an overshot, the amplitude of each filtered pulse being dependent on the amplitude of the corresponding overshot and on the predefined threshold. ii. repeating at least two successive iterations of step i on said wideband signal.
