A scalable periphery tunable matching power amplifier is presented. Varying power levels can be accommodated by selectively activating or deactivating unit cells of which the scalable periphery tunable matching power amplifier is comprised. Tunable matching allows individual unit cells to see a constant output impedance, reducing need for transforming a low impedance up to a system impedance and attendant power loss. The scalable periphery tunable matching power amplifier can also be tuned for different operating conditions such as different frequencies of operation or different modes.

摘要:
A surface acoustic wave (SAW) filter that receives an aggregate circuit and outputs two or more sub-signals on outputs each of a different frequency band. The sub-signals are amplified by low noise amplifiers and, in one implementation, the amplified sub-signals can be summed. The outputs are connected via a switched passive network so that portions of the sub-signals on the outputs that are not in the selected frequency band are at least partially terminated.

A power amplification system comprises a pre-processor including a wavefront multiplexer, a set of power amplifiers, and a post-processor including a wavefront demultiplexer. The wavefront multiplexer receives concurrently N input signals, N being an integer greater than 2, performs a wavefront multiplexing transform on the N input signals by attaching N wavefronts to the N input signals respectively, and generates N first output signals. The N wavefronts are unique and mutually orthogonal. The wavefront multiplexing transform has an inverse. The N power amplifiers amplify the N first output signals and generate N amplified signals. The wavefront demultiplexer performs the inverse of the wavefront multiplexing transform on the N amplified signals and generates N second output signals, the N second output signals corresponding respectively to the N input signals. Each of the N second output signals is an amplified version of a corresponding one of the N input signals.

In a semiconductor device, received signals of different frequency bands are input selectively to low noise amplifiers. A plurality of primary inductors are coupled between differential output nodes of the respective low noise amplifiers. A secondary inductor is provided commonly for the primary inductors, and magnetically coupled to the primary inductors. A demodulator converts a received signal transmitted from one of the primary inductors to the secondary inductor by electromagnetic induction, into a signal of a low frequency.
