摘要: A self-setting power supply monitors a supply current drawn by a power amplifier and sets a supply voltage based on the supply current to achieve efficient power operation. In order to maintain operation of the power amplifier above minimum operating conditions, the self-setting power supply sets the supply voltage to the minimum operating voltage when the supply current drops below a threshold bias current. When the supply current is above the threshold bias current, the self-setting power supply adjusts the supply voltage approximately proportionally to the supply current to maintain approximately constant gain of the power amplifier.

摘要: An envelope tracking transceiver dynamically adjusts envelope tracking parameters to achieve the desired tradeoff between noise performance and power efficiency. When higher levels of noise are acceptable, the envelope tracking transceiver dynamically adjusts transmitter parameters to achieve better power efficiency while sacrificing noise performance. When lower levels of noise are desired, the envelope tracking transceiver dynamically adjusts parameters to achieve better noise performance while sacrificing efficiency.

摘要: A highly efficient, high control bandwidth and high-speed power supply with a linear driver and a switching regulator for regulating an output based on a control signal. The linear driver has a first input for receiving the control signal and a second input connected to the output for receiving negative feedback. The driver's output is controlled by its two inputs and has a capacitor connected in series with it to generate a capacitor voltage VC responsive to the DC and low frequency components in the driver's output. The switching regulator has a control input and a regulator output connected in a regulator feedback loop. The control input receives capacitor voltage VC and the regulator feedback loop minimizes capacitor voltage VC. Thus, switching regulator takes over the generation of DC and low frequency components, while the linear driver provides high frequency output current components.

摘要: An RF PA system that generates its own local characterization information. The RF PA system includes a PA to generate a RF output signal from a RF input signal, the PA powered by a supply voltage. A characterization block generates characterization information corresponding to a relationship between the supply voltage and performance (e.g., gain, power efficiency, distortion, receive band noise) of the RF PA system for a plurality of levels of one or more operating conditions (e.g., temperature, operating frequency, modulation format, antennae mismatch, etc.) of the RF PA system. An amplitude estimator block estimates an amplitude of the RF input signal. A supply control block generates a supply voltage control signal for controlling the supply voltage based on the characterization information and the amplitude of the RF input signal.

摘要: An envelope tracking power amplifier system time-aligns a supply voltage to an input signal to a power amplifier. The power supply operates in a static mode for low amplitude input signals and operates in a dynamic mode for high amplitude input signals. In the static mode, the power supply produces a substantially constant supply voltage independent of the amplitude of the input signal. In the dynamic mode the power supply produces a dynamically varying envelope tracking supply voltage based on the amplitude of the input signal. A first delay is determined based on portions of the input and output signals captured during static operation of the power supply and a second delay is determined based on portions of the input and output signals captured during dynamic operation. A delay mismatch is estimated based on a difference between the first and second delays.

摘要: A power supply system includes a high-speed power supply providing a first output, operating in conjunction with an externally supplied DC source or low frequency power supply which provides a second output. A frequency blocking power combiner circuit combines the first and second outputs to generate a third output in order to drive a load, while providing frequency-selective isolation between the first and second outputs. A feedback circuit coupled to the combined, third output compares this combined, third output with a predetermined control signal and generates a control signal for controlling the high-speed power supply, based on a difference between the third output and the predetermined control signal. The feedback circuit does not control the DC source or the low frequency power supply, but controls only the high-speed power supply.
