Abstract:
A method and system enhances the gain of a propagation path of a radio frequency (RF) signal while utilizing an envelope tracking (ET) mechanism to provide power to a power amplifier within the propagation path. An envelope tracking (ET) controller detects using the ET mechanism an RF envelope of the RF signal being propagated towards the power amplifier. The ET controller applies envelope pre-distortion to the RF signal. The ET controller initiates a function for shaping the supply voltage of the power amplifier by selecting a shaping table that can provide a specific level of increasing amplifier gain at higher signal drive level. The ET controller shapes the supply voltage for the power amplifier by adjusting values corresponding to the detected RF envelope. As a result, RF signals are propagated from the transceiver to the power amplifier output port across high and low transceiver drive levels with net constant gain.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus can cut back power in a simultaneous dual frequency band call. The method may operate a dual frequency band transmit device. The method may include determining if a transmit frequency in a first frequency band from the device combined with a transmit frequency in a second frequency band from the device causes receiver desensitization at the device. The method may include determining if the transmit power in the first frequency band is above a threshold power. The method may include reducing maximum transmit power in the second frequency band by an amount proportional to transmit power in the first frequency band and transmit signal bandwidth in the second frequency band in only the portion of the second frequency band where a resultant frequency component can cause desensitization.
Abstract:
A method (700) and apparatus (600) optimize resource block based transmitter operation in a wireless communication device. The method can include receiving (720) a radio resource assignment including a particular resource block allocation. The method can include configuring (730) a wireless communication transceiver for the particular resource block allocation. The method can include degrading (740) power amplifier distortion of the wireless communication transceiver based on the particular resource block allocation. The power amplifier distortion can be a measure of a deviation of the power amplifier output in an analysis domain from an ideal linear amplifier.
