摘要: Envelope tracking power amplifiers with advanced gain shaping are provided. In certain implementations, a power amplifier system includes a power amplifier that amplifies a radio frequency (RF) signal and an envelope tracker that controls a voltage level of a supply voltage of the power amplifier based on an envelope of the RF signal. The power amplifier system further includes a gain shaping circuit that generates a gain shaping current that changes with the voltage level of the supply voltage from the envelope tracker. For example, the gain shaping circuit can include an analog look-up table (LUT) mapping a particular voltage level of the supply voltage to a particular current level of gain shaping current. Additionally, the gain shaping circuit biases the power amplifier based on the gain shaping current.

摘要: In some embodiments, a power amplification system can comprise a current source configured to provide a bias current, a current mirror configured to mirror the bias current, a comparator configured to compare the mirrored bias current to a threshold current, and a transistor at an output of the comparator. The transistor can be configured to be activated in response to the mirrored bias current exceeding the threshold current.
