Abstract: A current-mode power amplifier is disclosed. In some embodiments, the power amplifier may include a first cascode transistor pair including a first transfer function coupled to a second cascode transistor pair including a second transfer function. The first transfer function may be an inverse of the second transfer function. The current-mode power amplifier may also include an inductive-capacitive (LC) resonant circuit to reduce the effects of gate capacitances of the first cascode transistor pair and the second cascode transistor pair. In some embodiments, the current-mode power amplifier may include a bias current controller. The bias current controller may adjust transistor bias currents based, at least in part, on an input signal received by the current-mode power amplifier.

Abstract: A system and method for calibrating digital pre-distortion in a wireless device. A pre-distortion circuit may output a first training signal while a power amplifier of the wireless device is on, to generate a first feedback signal. The first feedback signal may be fed back to the pre-distortion circuit via a receive path of the wireless device. The pre-distortion circuit may output a second training signal while the power amplifier is off, to generate a second feedback signal. The second feedback signal may be fed back to the pre-distortion circuit via the receive path. The pre-distortion circuit may then determine one or more pre-distortion coefficients based on the first and second feedback signals.
