Abstract: When a power amplifier control loop operates near or in saturation, the quality of the output signal can be degraded and an over current condition can occur. To prevent this, the output signal of the power amplifier is detected, converted to digital, and then converted into the frequency spectrum by means of a Fast Fourier Transform. The spectral characteristics of the output signal are analyzed to determine if the power amplifier control loop is approaching or operating in saturation mode. This determination is made by looking at the power of the output signal at various frequencies. If the output at these frequencies exceeds a threshold value, the power amplifier control loop is approaching saturation. In this situation, the output of the power amplifier can be adjusted to prevent loop saturation. This can be accomplished by reducing the supply voltage to the power amplifier or adjusting the bias voltage.
