    Abstract: Described embodiments provide a transmission-line resistance compression network that includes an input port, a first output port coupled to a first load and a second output port coupled to a second load. The first and second loads may have substantially similar input impedances under substantially similar operating conditions. The transmission-line resistance compression network includes a transmission-line network coupled to the input port, the first output port and the second output port, and includes at least two transmission lines of different lengths. For a first operating range, the resistances at input ports of the first and second loads vary over first and second ratios, respectively. The resistance of the input impedance at the input port of the transmission-line resistance compression network varies over a third ratio that is smaller than at least one of the first and second ratios.

    Abstract: A switched mode assisted linear (SMAL) amplifier/regulator architecture can be configured to supply regulated power to a dynamic load, such as an RF power amplifier. Embodiments of a SMAL regulator can include a linear amplifier and a switched mode converter parallel coupled at a supply node, and configured such that the amplifier sets load voltage, while the amplifier and the switched converter are cooperatively controlled to supply load current. The amplifier can include separate feedback loops: an external relatively lower speed feedback loop for controlling signal path bandwidth, and an internal relatively higher speed feedback loop for controlling output impedance bandwidth of the linear amplifier. The linear amplifier can be AC coupled to the supply node, and the switched converter can be configured with a capacitive charge control loop that controls the switched converter to effectively control the amplifier to provide capacitive charge control.

    Abstract: a switchable current source in which a reference voltage value to be used in driving the gate of an output transistor is sampled and stored. The reference voltage is derived using a reference current source which feeds a current sensing transistor. The current sensing transistor is turned off when the output transistor is turned off, so that the reference current source then does not consume power. A large reference current Iref can then be used for a short time.
