    摘要: An envelope tracking (ET) radio frequency (RF) front-end circuit receives a single tracking signal (e.g., Vramp) from a baseband transceiver and generates a plurality of control signals (Vcc). The control signals are created by a multiple control signal generator circuit based on a calculated load estimate for each relevant power amplifier. The load estimate may be calculated from a sensed current and voltage. By providing control signals optimized for loads presented to the power amplifiers, the overall efficiency of the transmitter is improved.

    摘要: Embodiments of an amplifiers and integrated circuits include a first transistor and a second transistor. A second current-carrying terminal of the first transistor may be coupled to a first current-carrying terminal of the second transistor and the control terminal of the second transistor may be coupled to a low impedance alternating current (AC) potential node. A bias network that includes a first circuit element and a second circuit element couples the second current-carrying terminal of the second transistor to the control terminal of the second transistor. The first circuit element may be configured to apply a portion of a potential at the second current-carrying terminal of the second transistor to the control terminal of the second transistor, and the second circuit element may be coupled between the control terminal of the second transistor and a fixed potential.

    摘要: An amplifier arrangement has an input transistor being connected between reference potential terminals by a current source and a current sink. An amplifier stage has an amplifier output coupled to a first connection node between the current sink and a first terminal of the input transistor by means of a feedback path, and an amplifier input connected to a second connection node between the current source and the second terminal of the input transistor. A level-shifting structure has a level-shifting element with one end connected to a reference connection, wherein the level-shifting element is adapted to perform a level-shifting of a potential at the second connection node with respect to a potential at the reference connection. The reference connection is coupled to one of the following: the amplifier output, the first connection node, a control terminal of the input transistor.

    摘要: A distributed amplifier with improved stabilization includes an input transmission circuit, an output transmission circuit, at least one cascade amplifier coupled between said input and output transmission circuits. Each cascade amplifier includes a common-gate configured transistor coupled to the output transmission circuit, and a common-source configured transistor coupled between the input transmission circuit and the common-gate configured transistor. The distributed amplifier also includes a non-parasitic resistance and capacitance coupled in series between a drain and a gate of at least one of the common-gate configured transistors for increasing the amplifier stability.
