    摘要: An amplifier circuit is comprising a first amplifier configured to receive a first signal, a second amplifier configured to receive a second signal, a third amplifier configured to receive a third signal, and a directional coupler. An output of the first amplifier is connected to a first port of the directional coupler, an output of the third amplifier is connected to a second port of the directional coupler, an output of the second amplifier is connected to a third port of the directional coupler, and a fourth port of the directional coupler is connected to an output of the amplifier circuit. The directional coupler is configured such that different proportions of output signals of the second and third amplifiers are coupled to the first port of the directional coupler.

    摘要: In one aspect, a power amplifier apparatus comprising a power amplifier (PA) and an adaptive controller is provided. The PA comprises at least one transistor and the adaptive controller is configured to control a bias voltage of the transistor based on a measured power efficiency of the PA and a measure output signal quality of the PA. In another aspect, a method of optimizing PA performance is provided. The PA comprises at least one transistor and the method includes initializing a bias voltage of the transistor, receiving measurements indicating a power efficiency and an output signal quality of the PA, evaluating the received measurements, calculating a new bias voltage for the transistor based on the evaluation, and applying the calculated new bias voltage to the transistor.
