摘要： Exemplary techniques for performing impedance matching are described. In an exemplary embodiment, the apparatus may include an amplifier (e.g., a power amplifier) coupled to first and second matching circuits. The first matching circuit may include multiple stages coupled to a first node and may provide input impedance matching for the amplifier. The second matching circuit may include multiple stages coupled to a second node and may provide output impedance matching for the amplifier. At least one switch may be coupled between the first and second nodes and may bypass or select the amplifier. The first and second nodes may have a common impedance. The apparatus may further include a second amplifier coupled in parallel with the amplifier and further to the matching circuits. The second matching circuit may include a first input stage coupled to the amplifier, a second input stage coupled to the second amplifier, and a second stage coupled to the two input stages via switches.

摘要： A multi-mode multi-band power amplifier (PA) module is described. In an exemplary design, the PA module includes multiple power amplifiers, multiple matching circuits, and a set of switches. Each power amplifier provides power amplification for its input signal when selected. Each matching circuit provides impedance matching and filtering for its power amplifier and provides a respective output signal. The switches configure the power amplifiers to support multiple modes, with each mode being for a particular radio technology. Each power amplifier supports at least two modes. The PA module may further include a driver amplifier and an additional matching circuit. The driver amplifier amplifies an input signal and provides an amplified signal to the power amplifiers. The additional matching circuit combines the outputs of other matching circuits and provides an output signal with higher output power. The driver amplifier and the power amplifiers can support multiple output power levels.

摘要： Reconfigurable impedance matching circuits with multiple configurations are disclosed. A reconfigurable impedance matching circuit may be implemented with a set of reactive elements (e.g., inductors and/or capacitors) and a set of switches. Different configurations may be obtained with different settings of the switches and may be associated with different impedance tuning curves. This may enable the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit to provide better impedance matching for a load circuit (e.g., an antenna). In an exemplary design, the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit includes at least one variable reactive element configured to tune the impedance of the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit in order to provide better impedance matching. In an exemplary design, the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit may include at least one reconfigurable reactive element, each of which can be connected as a series element or a shunt element.
