    摘要: A method for improving the linearity of a radio frequency power amplifier, a compensation circuit (307) for implementing the method, and a communications terminal with the compensation circuit (307). In the method, a compensation circuit (307) is connected between a base (a3) and a collector (b3) of a transistor of a common emitter amplifier (306), in order to neutralize the impact of a variation in capacitance between the base (a3) and the collector (b3) of the transistor (306) according to a radio frequency signal. No additional direct-current power consumption is needed, and degradation in performance of other radio frequency power amplifiers can be avoided. The corresponding compensation circuit (307) can be easily integrated with a main amplification circuit, without affecting other performance of the main amplification circuit, and provides high adjustability.

    摘要: An active bias circuit for a power amplifier and a mobile terminal are disclosed. The circuit includes a proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current source circuit, a reference voltage circuit, an isolation voltage stabilizing circuit, and a bias voltage circuit. An input end of the PTAT current source circuit is connected to a voltage source (Vbat), and an output end is connected to the reference voltage circuit. The reference voltage circuit generates a reference voltage that is in proportion to a current and a temperature. The isolation voltage stabilizing circuit isolates the reference voltage circuit from the bias voltage circuit, and supplies a stabilized voltage to the bias voltage circuit by using a negative feedback loop. The bias voltage circuit receives the voltage of the isolation voltage stabilizing circuit, and is also connected to the voltage source (Vbat).
