摘要: Apparatus and methods for envelope alignment calibration in radio frequency (RF) systems are provided. In certain embodiments, calibration is performed by providing an envelope signal that is substantially triangular along an envelope path, and by providing an RF signal to a power amplifier along an RF signal path. Additionally, an output of the power amplifier is observed to generate an observation signal using an observation receiver. The observation signal includes a first peak and a second peak, and a delay between the envelope signal and the RF signal is controlled based on relative size of the peaks of the observation signal to one another.

摘要: Silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate processing for transistor enhancement is disclosed. In certain embodiments, a silicon substrate for an SOI process is separated into sub-regions or islands by dielectric. Thus, the substrate is changed from having one region and one shared contact into multiple substrate sub-regions with independent contacts. Since the substrate serves as a back gate to SOI transistors formed in an active silicon layer, breaking the substrate into independent or separate islands leads to a drop in the impact of each island on the drain-to-source voltage and/or gate-to-source voltage of the SOI transistors. Accordingly, reduced harmonics and improved linearity are achieved.

摘要: Disclosed herein are switching or other active FET configurations that implement a branch design with one or more interior FETs of a main path coupled in parallel with one or more auxiliary FETs of an auxiliary path. Such designs include a circuit assembly for performing a switching function that includes a branch with a plurality of auxiliary FETs coupled in series and a main FET coupled in parallel with an interior FET of the plurality of auxiliary FETs. The body nodes of the FETs can be interconnected and/or connected to a body bias network. The body nodes of the FETs can be connected to body bias networks to enable individual body bias voltages to be used for individual or groups of FETs.
