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 circuits, devices and methods that address challenges associated with power amplifier systems. A power amplifier system includes two or more fast error amplifiers coupled to corresponding power amplifiers. The fast error amplifiers are configured to generate envelope tracking signals based on a signal envelope, the envelope tracking signals modifying a DC-DC regulated voltage from a DC-DC converter to more efficiently operate the power amplifiers. By splitting the envelope tracking between two or more fast error amplifiers and amplification between corresponding two or more power amplifiers, the power, frequency or bandwidth, linearity, signal-to-noise ratio, efficiency, or the like of the power amplifier system can be improved. Wireless communications configurations with such power amplifier systems can provide uplink carrier aggregation and/or cellular signals based on standards and protocols that require increased bandwidth and/or power.

摘要: A linearization circuit that reduces intermodulation distortion in an amplifier output receives a first signal that includes a first frequency and a second frequency and generates a difference signal having a frequency approximately equal to the difference of the first frequency and the second frequency. The linearization circuit generates an envelope signal based at least in part on a power level of the first signal and adjusts a magnitude of the difference signal based on the envelope signal. When the amplifier receives the first signal at an input terminal and the adjusted signal at a second terminal, intermodulation between the adjusted signal and the first signal cancels at least a portion of the intermodulation products that result from the intermodulation of the first frequency and the second frequency.

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.
