    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) switch circuits are disclosed having one or more transistors coupled to provide improved switching performance. RF switches include at least one field-effect transistor (FET) disposed between first and second nodes, each the at least one FET having a respective body and a corresponding gate. A coupling circuit couples the respective body and corresponding gate of the at least one FET. The coupling circuit may include a diode in series with a resistor and may be configured to facilitate removal of excess charge from the respective body.

    Abstract: Radio-frequency (RF) switch circuits are disclosed providing improved switching performance. An RF switch system includes a plurality of field-effect transistors (FETs) connected in series between first and second nodes, each FET having a gate and a body. A compensation network including a gate-coupling circuit couples the gates of each pair of neighboring FETs. The compensation network may further including a body-coupling circuit that couples the bodies of each pair of neighboring FETs.
