摘要: Disclosed herein are amplification systems that are dynamically biased based on a signal indicative of differential envelope of an input radio-frequency (RF) signal being amplified. The amplification systems include a cascode amplifier configured to amplify the RF signal to generate an output RF signal when one of the transistors of the cascode amplifier is biased by a combination of the input RF signal and a biasing signal while the other transistor of the cascode amplifier is biased by a processed differential envelope signal. The cascode amplifier also receives a combination of a processed differential envelope signal and a supply voltage to generate the output RF signal. The biasing signal can improve or enhance the linearity of amplification systems.

摘要: Disclosed herein are amplification systems that are dynamically biased based on a signal indicative of an envelope of an input radio-frequency (RF) signal being amplified. The amplification systems include a power converter with an envelope tracker and an RC circuit. The envelope tracker and the RC circuit are configured to generate an envelope-based biasing signal to bias a power amplifier and an envelope-based supply voltage to power the power amplifier.

摘要: A power amplifier can include a carrier amplifier having first and second differential amplification cells with outputs coupled by a primary loop of a carrier transformer, and a peaking amplifier having first and second differential amplification cells with outputs coupled by a primary loop of a peaking transformer. The power amplifier can further include a combiner having a quarter-wave circuit implemented between the secondary loop of the carrier transformer and a secondary loop of the peaking transformer. The quarter-wave circuit can be configured to provide a characteristic impedance, such that the carrier and peaking amplifiers are presented with an impedance that is approximately the same as the characteristic impedance when both of the carrier and peaking amplifiers are turned on, and the carrier amplifier is presented with an impedance that is approximately twice the characteristic impedance when the carrier amplifier is turned on and the peaking amplifier is turned off.

摘要: Disclosed herein are power amplification systems that are dynamically biased based on a signal indicative of an envelope of the signal being amplified. The power amplification systems include a power amplifier configured to amplify an input radio-frequency (RF) signal to generate an output RF signal when biased by a biasing signal. The power amplification systems also include a bias component configured to generate the biasing signal based on an envelope signal indicative of an envelope of the input RF signal. The biasing signal can improve or enhance the linearity of the power amplification systems.

摘要: Transformer-based Doherty power amplifier (PA). In some embodiments, a Doherty PA can include a carrier amplification path having an output that includes a carrier transformer, and a peaking amplification path having an output that includes a peaking transformer. The Doherty PA can further include a combiner configured to combine the outputs of the carrier and peaking amplification paths into an output node. The combiner can include a quarter-wave circuit implemented between the carrier and peaking transformers.
