摘要: A digitally-controlled transimpedance amplifier (TIA) circuit is provided in which a plurality of feedback loops are digitally controlled, including, but not limited to, the DC offset cancellation loop, the variable gain control loop, and the TIA feedback impedance adjustment loop. The digitally-controlled TIA circuit includes digital loop-control circuitry that consumes less area on the TIA IC chip than the analog circuitry traditionally used to perform the feedback loop control in the analog domain. In addition, because digital logic continues to shrink as IC processes continue to evolve, the size of the IC chip packages will further decrease over time, leading to a smaller footprint in systems in which they are employed. The digital loop control circuitry is also capable of independently varying the gains of multiple gain stages of the variable gain control circuit to provide better control over the gain stages and better overall performance of the TIA circuit.

摘要: A Doherty amplifier includes an output combining network that has a first combining network input coupled to a main amplifier path, a lowest-order combining network input coupled to a lowest-order peaking amplifier path, and N−2 additional combining network inputs coupled to other peaking amplifier paths. A final summing node is coupled to the combining network output, and is directly coupled to the first combining network input. N−2 intermediate summing nodes are coupled to the N−2 additional combining network inputs. An offset line is coupled between the lowest-order combining network input and a lowest-order summing node. A longest phase delay imparted by the output combining network on a peaking RF signal between the lowest-order combining network input and the final summing node is greater than all other phase delays imparted on any other RF signal provided to the first combining network input and the N−2 additional combining network inputs.

摘要: Methods of calibrating a power amplifier system to compensate for envelope amplitude misalignment are provided. In certain configurations, a method of calibrating a power amplifier system includes amplifying a radio frequency signal from a transceiver using a power amplifier and generating a supply voltage of the power amplifier using an envelope tracker, including generating a scaled envelope signal based on a power control level signal and an envelope signal, and shaping the scaled envelope signal using a shaping table generated at a target gain compression. The method further includes changing a scaling of the scaled envelope signal using a calibration module, monitoring an output of the power amplifier to determine an amount of scaling of the scaled envelope signal at which a detected gain compression of the power amplifier corresponds to the target gain compression of the shaping table, and calibrating the power amplifier system based on the determination.
