摘要:
A multiple-path, configurable, radio-frequency (RF) circuit is provided, including: a first amplifier path amplify a first RF signal to generate a first amplified signal; a second amplifier path configured to amplify a second RF signal to generate a second amplified signal; a corrective input matching circuit, configured to change first input-impedance-matching properties of the first amplifier path, and to change second input-impedance-matching properties of the second amplifier path; a first isolation element configured to selectively ground an input node of the second amplifier path; a second isolation element configured to selectively ground an output node of the second amplifier path; and a third isolation element connected between the first and second amplifier paths, configured to selectively isolate the corrective input matching circuit from first and second input nodes of the first and second amplifier paths, respectively, or connect the corrective input matching circuit to the first and second input nodes.
摘要:
A method and apparatus (100) is for providing self adjustment of a multistage radio frequency power amplifier (RFPA) (200). The apparatus (100) includes a transmit input stage (150) and a controller (110). Included in the multistage RFPA (200) are N RFPA stages (201) coupled in parallel to an N-way RF splitter (210) and to an N-way RF combiner (220), and a power sense stage (225) which generates a forward power sense signal (167). Each of the N RFPA stages (210) includes an adjustable power amplifier (PA) (300). The controller (110) optimizes a gain match and a phase match of the multistage RFPA (200) by adjusting signals which are coupled to each adjustable PA (300). The adjustments are made in response to the forward power sense signal (167) while the controller (110) controls the test input stage (150) which generates a predetermined test signal (155).
摘要:
A radio system user (126) is alerted (129) as to the occurrence of a financial transaction by a customer (118). Data (122) is obtained from the customer (118) and used to identify a radio system user (126), who is authorized to conduct the financial transaction. A message, indicative of the financial transaction, is automatically provided to a radio system and broadcast (129) to the radio system user (126), thereby alerting the user (126) to the financial transaction.
