    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to calibrate a closed-loop envelop tracking system for a power amplifier of a wireless transmitter using standardized modulation signals. In one novel aspect, a closed-loop adaptive method is used to track changes in PA nonlinearity due to environmental or circuitry changes during operating condition using standardized modulation signals. In one embodiment, the PA supply voltage compensation lookup table (LUT) and/or the phase compensation LUT is updated during normal operation to sustain good linearity and efficiency performance. In another novel aspect, the PA target response is adjusted in response to changes in PA-related system configuration, such as changes in PA bias settings, and/or indicators measured from the transmitter such as changes in impedance or temperature changes for the RF module or the PA module. The PA supply voltage compensation LUT and/or the phase LUT is updated accordingly upon adjustment of the PA target response.

    Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) receiver includes a digital tuning engine; I-path and Q-path analog filters, tuned by the digital tuning engine; and a digital compensation circuit. The digital tuning engine executes a RC (resistor-capacitor) time constant calibration to adjust respective cut-off frequencies of the I-path analog filter and the Q-path analog filter. The digital tuning engine executes a filter mismatch calibration to match the I-path analog filter and the Q-path analog filter. The digital tuning engine executes a filter residual mismatch calibration to match an I-path response from the I-path analog filter to the digital compensation circuit and a Q-path response from the Q-path analog filter to the digital compensation circuit.

    Abstract: A method of calibrating an envelope tracking system for a supply voltage for a power amplifier module within a radio frequency (RF) transmitter of a wireless communication unit is described. The method comprising, within at least one signal processing module of the wireless communication unit, applying a training signal comprising an envelope that varies with time to an input of the RF transmitter, receiving at least an indication of instantaneous output signal values for the power amplifier module in response to the training signal, calculating instantaneous gain values based at least partly on the received output power values, and adjusting a mapping function between an instantaneous envelope of a waveform signal to be amplified by the power amplifier module and the power amplifier module supply voltage to achieve a power amplifier module gain, for example that is monotonically increasing as a function of power amplifier output power.
