    Abstract: A power supply configured to supply a modulated voltage to a power amplifier is shown. The power supply has an alternating current (AC) component generator, a direct current (DC) component generator, and a transition accelerator. The AC component generator generates an AC component of the modulated voltage according to an envelope tracking signal. The DC component generator generates a DC component of the modulated voltage according to the operational voltage range of the power amplifier. The transition accelerator is coupled to an output terminal of the DC component generator to speed up the transition of the modulated voltage.

    Abstract: A continuous time delta sigma modulator includes a summing circuit, a loop filter, an extraction circuit, a quantizer and a digital to analog converter. The summing circuit is arranged for subtracting a feedback signal by an input signal to generate a residual signal. The loop filter includes a plurality of amplifying stages connected in series and is arranged to receive the residual signal to generate a filtered residual signal. The extraction circuit is arranged for extracting a current from one of the amplifying stages and forwarding the extracted current to a following one of the amplifying stages. The quantizer is arranged for generating a digital output signal according to the filtered residual signal. The digital to analog converter is arranged for performing a digital to analog converting operation upon a signal derived from the digital output signal to generate the feedback signal to the summing circuit.

    Abstract: A filter is provided. The filter receives an input signal and generates an output signal according to the input signal. The filter includes an input network, a high-pass network, and an operational circuit. The first input network provides a first normal path for the input signal to generate a first normal signal. The first high-pass network provides a first high-pass path for the input signal to generate a first high-pass signal. The operational circuit has first and second input terminals. The polarity of the second input terminal is inverse to that of the first input terminal. The operational circuit receives the first normal signal by the first input terminal and the first high-pass signal by the second input terminal such that a subtraction operation is performed on the first normal signal and the first high-pass filter to accomplish a low-pass filtering operation for generating the output signal.
