    摘要: In one embodiment, an RF power amplifier includes a first transistor and a second transistor in parallel, wherein a gate of the first transistor and a gate of the second transistor are configured to be driven by an RF source. A third transistor comprising a drain is operably coupled to both a source of the first transistor and a source of the second transistor. A control circuit is operably coupled to a gate of the third transistor and configured to alter a gate-to-source voltage of the third transistor, thereby altering a drain current of each of the first transistor and the second transistor, thereby altering an output power of the RF power amplifier.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an impedance matching network includes at least one electronically variable capacitor (EVC), each EVC comprising discrete capacitors having corresponding switches, the switches configured to switch in and out the discrete capacitors to alter a total capacitance of the EVC. Each switch includes a first terminal operably coupled to the corresponding discrete capacitor, a second terminal, and a switching circuit coupled between the first terminal and the second terminal, the switching circuit comprising a switching transistor. A tuning inductor is coupled parallel to the switching circuit. A value for the tuning inductor enables the tuning inductor to cancel a cumulative parasitic capacitance of the switching circuit.

    摘要: In one embodiment, an impedance matching network includes a variable reactance circuit providing a variable capacitance or inductance. The variable reactance circuit includes reactance components and corresponding switching circuits. Each of the switching circuits includes a diode and a driver circuit to switch the diode. The driver circuit includes first and second switches coupled in series. A first driver is coupled to the first switch, a second driver is coupled to the second switch, and a third driver is coupled to the first and second drivers. The third driver provides a first signal to the first driver, and a second signal to the second driver. In providing the signals, the third driver increases and decreases a duration of a dead time between (a) driving the first driver on and the second driver off, or (b) driving the second driver on and the first driver off.
