    摘要: A distributed amplifier consistent with certain embodiments of the present invention has a plurality of amplifier sections 1 through N (302, 306) with each amplifier section having an input and an output. A plurality of N input transmission line sections are connected in series, with inputs of the 1 through N amplifier sections interconnected at their inputs along the series of input transmission line sections. A plurality of N output transmission line sections are also connected in series, with outputs of the 1 through N amplifier sections interconnected at their outputs along the series of input transmission line sections. A load (160) can be driven by an output at the Nth amplifier section (108). A high-pass filter (310) connects a dummy load (150) to the output of the first amplifier section (302). The input and output transmission line sections can, for example, be lumped element T sections and the high-pass filter can be made of a lumped element half section. To achieve the desired stability enhancement, the high pass filter section has a cutoff frequency equal to or greater than the cutoff frequency of the output transmission line sections. A similar high pass filter and dummy load can be used in the input transmission line network.

    摘要: A vector signal processor (80) can include a digital to time converter (DTC), an RF memory (RFM) or an electronically tunable transmission line (ETTL) (82), a mixer, or other phase shifter (70) for receiving an output of the DTC or the ETTL, and a controller for selectively controlling the harmonic processing of the DTC, RFM or the ETTL and the phase processing of the mixer. The vector signal processor can uncouple a relative phase of a fundamental signal with respect to harmonics of the fundamental signal. The vector signal processor uses selective phase processing of the fundamental signal and related harmonic components. In a specific embodiment, the vector signal processor cancels harmonics of the fundamental signal and more specifically can cancel a third harmonic of the fundamental signal.

    摘要: A distributed amplifier arrangement (300) is provided in which a plurality of input signals (S1(t), . . . SN(t)) are separately controlled by a drive generator circuit (315) to produce modulation of a virtual load impedance at each amplifier stage. This permits each stage (302, 304, . . . 310) of the distributed amplifier (300) to operate at maximum efficiency by permitting the stage to produce an output voltage that approaches the supply voltage. As the output power is reduced, efficiency is maintained by systematically reducing the number of stages contributing to the output to the load.
