摘要:
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter includes a power amplifier comprising a plurality of power amplifier cells. At least one digital signal processing module of the RF transmitter is operably coupled to the power amplifier and comprises at least one digital pre-distortion component arranged to apply at least one digital pre-distortion codeword to the plurality of power amplifier cells, wherein the at least one digital pre-distortion codeword is applied to at least one of the plurality of power amplifier cells via a digital filter. A combiner is arranged to combine outputs of the plurality of power amplifier cells thereby generating an analogue RF signal for transmission over an RF interface based at least partly on the digitally filtered at least one digital pre-distortion codeword.

摘要:
A power amplifier includes: a plurality of amplifying stages arranged to generate an output signal at an output terminal according to a phase-modulated signal and a plurality of amplitude-modulated signals, where each amplifying stage is arranged to receive the phase-modulated signal and one of the plurality of amplitude-modulated signals; an inductive circuit coupled between the output terminal and a first reference voltage; a matching circuit coupled between the output terminal and a loading circuit for providing a matching impedance between the output terminal and the loading circuit; and a capacitive circuit coupled to the output terminal for providing an adjustable capacitance to adjust a loading capacitance at the output terminal according to an adjusting signal; wherein the adjusting signal is indicative of a power of the output signal.
