    摘要: A delay circuit provides a programmable delay and includes an input selector circuit to select between a loop delay output signal and an input signal. A loop delay circuit provides a loop delay to the input signal and supplies the loop delay output signal. The input signal can be recirculated through the loop delay circuit to extend the range of the delay. The input selector circuit selects the feedback signal during recirculation. A variable delay circuit provides a variable delay to the loop delay output signal after the recirculation is complete and supplies a variable delay output signal. An output selector circuit selects the output of the output selector circuit during the recirculation and selects the variable delay output signal after the recirculation is complete to thereby provide a delayed signal with the delay based on the loop delay, the number of loops of recirculation, and the variable delay.

    摘要: A method for improving the accuracy of a final inspection (FI) test of an acoustic wave device includes gating the feedthrough/cross-coupling (e.g., electromagnetic (EM) path) signal of the FI test data response for the tested acoustic wave device and adding a feedthrough/cross-coupling signal (e.g., EM path signal) from an engineering (EVB) test data (e.g., for a similar or identical surface acoustic device). This results in FI test data with time domain recovery of EM path signal from an EVB test, which can be compared against EVB test data (e.g. for a similar or identical surface acoustic device) to determine if the tested acoustic wave device passes inspection.

    摘要: Power amplifier having analog pre-distortion by adaptive degenerative feedback. In some embodiments, a pre-distortion circuit for an amplifier can include a transistor having an input node for receiving an input signal, an output node for providing an output signal having a gain relative to the input signal, and a common node for coupling to a ground. The pre-distortion circuit can further include a degeneration circuit implemented between the common node and the ground, with the degeneration circuit being configured to introduce a feedback response that reduces the gain when the input signal has a power level at or below a selected level. The degeneration circuit can be further configured to be disabled or provide a reduced feedback response when the input signal has a power level that exceeds the selected level.

    摘要: A coupling circuit can be configured to couple a common node to a first group of filters through a first path and to couple the common node to a second group of one or more filters through a second path. The coupling circuit can be configured such that an impedance provided by each filter of the first group for a signal in each band of the second group results in the signal being sufficiently excluded from the first path, and such that an impedance provided by each filter of the second group for a signal in each band of the first group results in the signal being sufficiently excluded from the second path. The first path can present a first impedance to the coupling circuit, and the second path can present a second impedance to the coupling circuit, such that complex part of the first impedance is a conjugate of complex part of the second impedance.

    摘要: Multi-level envelope tracking systems with adjusted voltage steps are provided. In certain embodiments, an envelope tracking system for generating a power amplifier supply voltage for a power amplifier is provided. The envelope tracking system includes a multi- level supply (MLS) DC-to-DC converter that outputs multiple regulated voltages, an MLS modulator that controls selection of the regulated voltages over time based on an envelope signal corresponding to an envelope of a radio frequency (RF) signal amplified by the power amplifier, and a modulator output filter coupled between an output of the MLS modulator and the power amplifier supply voltage. The envelope tracking system further includes a switching point adaptation circuit configured to control the voltage level of the regulated voltages outputted by the MLS DC-to-DC converter based on a power level of the RF signal.
