    摘要: A transmitter (200) comprises a first Chireix compensation circuit (230, 232, 238, 240) and a second Chireix compensation circuit (234, 236, 238, 240), wherein each Chireix compensation circuit has two inputs and two outputs. Two constant envelope input signals (22, 224) to be amplified are guided by a switch (226) to either the first or second Chireix amplifier unit. The selection as such depends on the phase (212) of the input signals to be amplified. The outputs of the two Chireix compensation circuits are cross-coupled to an inductive load (242). A Chireix inductor (238) and a Chireix capacitor (240), each having one terminal grounded, are also connected to the inductive load (242). By switching the signals to be amplified in response to their phase, optimum matching is ensured.

    摘要: Method for setup of parameter values in a RF power amplifier circuit arrangement (200), wherein the amplifier circuit arrangement (200) comprises a first (210) and a second (220) amplification branch and is operated in an out-phasing configuration for amplification of RF input signals with modulated amplitude and modulated phase and respective circuit arrangements are disclosed. According to a first aspect a re-optimization of the dead-time or conversely the duty-cycle, respectively, the phase of the output signal after the combiner can be kept linear with respect to the out-phasing angle. Further, according to a second aspect, additionally to introduction of an optimally chosen dead-time, a non-coherent combiner (Lx, Lx*) can reduce crowbar current and switching losses due the output capacitance (Cds). Furthermore, according to a third aspect the reactive compensation can, additionally or alternatively, be controlled by operating both amplification branches at different duty-cycles.
