    摘要: An envelope tracking power supply and an offset capacitive element are disclosed. The offset capacitive element is coupled between a switching output and an analog output of the envelope tracking power supply, which operates in one of an envelope tracking mode, a transition mode, and an average power tracking mode. During the envelope tracking mode, the envelope tracking power supply provides an envelope power supply signal using both the switching output and the analog output. During the transition mode, the envelope tracking power supply drives a voltage across the offset capacitive element from a first voltage to a second voltage, such that during a transition from the envelope tracking mode to the transition mode, the offset capacitive element has the first voltage, and during a transition from the transition mode to the average power tracking mode, the offset capacitive element has the second voltage.

    摘要: A radio frequency (RF) power amplifier (PA) and an envelope tracking power supply are disclosed. The RF PA receives and amplifies an RF input signal to provide an RF transmit signal using an envelope power supply signal, which at least partially envelope tracks the RF transmit signal, such that the RF input signal has an RF mixer-based artifact. The envelope tracking power supply provides the envelope power supply signal, which includes mixer-based artifact pre-distortion to at least partially remove effects of the RF mixer-based artifact from the RF transmit signal.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the present disclosure relate to transmission techniques that result in power savings relative to previous solutions. These techniques often transmit a signal-of-interest by using two paths, namely, a transmission path (which includes a power amplifier) and a control path. The signal-of-interest is evaluated in “fast-track” fashion on the control path, such that the control path can “tune” a DC supply signal provided to the power amplifier. Thus, when a delayed version of the signal-of-interest is provided over the transmission path to the power amplifier, the DC supply signal provided to the power amplifier helps ensure that the power amplifier has “just enough” DC supply to ensure reliable operation without dissipating excess power. In this way, the techniques disclosed herein help to reduce power consumption in transmitters, thereby potentially helping to extend battery life and reduce undesired heating for users.
