    摘要: The present disclosure relates to de-multiplexing at least one RF input signal feeding RF power amplifier circuitry to create multiple de-multiplexed RF output signals, which may be used to provide RF transmit signals in an RF communications system. Output transformer circuitry is coupled to outputs from the RF power amplifier circuitry to provide the de-multiplexed RF output signals, which may support multiple modes, multiple frequency bands, or both. The de-multiplexed RF output signals may be used in place of RF switching elements in certain embodiments. As a result, RF front-end switching circuitry in the RF communications system may be simplified, thereby reducing insertion losses, reducing costs, reducing size, or any combination thereof. Additionally, the output transformer circuitry may provide load line transformation, output transistor biasing, or both to the RF power amplifier circuitry.

    摘要: A baseband PA predistortion module, which includes a baseband combiner, a baseband PA correction circuit, and a baseband filter, is disclosed. The baseband PA correction circuit replicates behavior of an RF PA by processing a modulation data signal to provide a predistortion data signal. The behavior of the RF PA includes distortion. The modulation data signal is representative of an RF input signal to an RF PA and the predistortion data signal is representative of a correction needed at an output of the RF PA. The baseband filter receives and filters the predistortion data signal to provide a reduced predistortion data signal, such that a low frequency content of the reduced predistortion data signal is less than a low frequency content of the predistortion data signal. The baseband combiner receives and combines the modulation data signal and the reduced predistortion data signal to provide a baseband transmit signal.
