Embodiments of the invention may provide for systems and methods for providing a power amplifier with integrated passive device, thereby improving the performance of the power amplifier. The power amplifier may include a signal amplification section, a power combining section, and a coupling device section that interconnects the signal amplification section and the power combining section. The signal amplification section may be implemented on a first substrate, and the power combining section may be implemented on a second substrate, where the first substrate and the second substrate may be different. The power combining section may be implemented by the integrated passive device (IPD) that may have characteristics of high performance passive device with flexibility of implementing diverse functions, including a notch filter, a low pass filter, and/or bypass capacitance for bias network. The power combining section implemented by the integrated passive device may have an improved power combining efficiency.

Embodiments of the invention may provide for enhancement systems and methods for a power amplifier output control system. In an example embodiment, driver amplifier control may be provided in conjunction with power amplifier control to improve the power efficiency and/or dynamic range of the transmitter system. Furthermore, control over the driver amplifier may allow for relaxed power control slope, which may lessens the burden of digital to analog converters (DACs) in transmitter systems such as cellular transmitter systems. Also, systems and methods in accordance with example embodiments of the invention may provide a less sensitive solution to operational environment variations such as temperature, battery power voltage and implementation IC process.

摘要:
Embodiments of the invention may provide for a CMOS antenna switch, which may be referred to as a CMOS SPDT switch. The CMOS antenna switch may operate at a plurality of frequencies, perhaps around 900 MHz 1.9 GHz and 2.1 GHz according to an embodiment of the invention. The CMOS antenna switch may include both a receiver switch and a transmit switch. The receiver switch may utilize a multi-stack transistor with body substrate switching and source and body connection along with body floating technique to block high power signals from the transmit path by preventing channel formation of the device in OFF state as well as to maintain low insertion loss at the receiver path. Example embodiments of the CMOS antenna switch may provide for 35 dBm P 1 dB at both bands (e.g., 900 MHz and 1.9 GHz and 2.1 GHz). In addition, a −60 dBc second and third harmonic up to 28 dBm input power to the switch, may be obtained according to example embodiments of the invention.

Embodiments of the invention may provide for a CMOS antenna switch, which may be referred to as a CMOS SP4T switch. The CMOS antenna switch may operate at a plurality of frequencies, perhaps around 900 MHz and 1.9 GHz according to an embodiment of the invention. The CMOS antenna switch may include both a receiver switch and a transmit switch. The receiver switch may utilize a multi-stack transistor with body substrate tuning to block high power signals from the transmit path as well as to maintain low insertion loss at the receiver path. On the other hand, in the transmit switch, a body substrate tuning technique may be applied to maintain high power delivery to the antenna. Example embodiments of the CMOS antenna switch may provide for 31 dBm P 1 dB at both bands (e.g., 900 MHz and 1.8 GHz). In addition, a 0.9 dB and −1.1 dB insertion loss at 900 MHz and 1.9 GHz, respectively, may be obtained according to example embodiments of the invention.
