    摘要: Apparatus and methods for envelope alignment calibration in radio frequency (RF) systems are provided. In certain embodiments, calibration is performed by providing an envelope signal with a peak along an envelope path, and by providing an RF signal with a first peak and a second peak to a power amplifier along an RF signal path. Additionally, an output of the power amplifier is observed to generate an observation signal using an observation receiver. The observation signal includes a first peak and a second peak corresponding to the first peak and the second peak of the RF signal, and a delay between the envelope signal and the RF signal is controlled based on relative size of the peaks of the observation signal to one another.

    摘要: Apparatus and methods for envelope controlled radio frequency (RF) switches are provided. In certain embodiments, a power amplifier provides an RF signal to an antenna by way of an RF switch. Additionally, the envelope signal is used not only to control a power amplifier supply voltage of the power amplifier, but also to control a regulated voltage used to turn on the RF switch. For example, a level shifter can use a regulated voltage from charge pump circuitry to turn on the RF switch, and the envelope signal can be provided to the charge pump circuitry and used to control the voltage level of the regulated voltage over time.
