摘要: An equalizer circuit in an envelope tracking (ET) integrated circuit (ETIC) is disclosed. The ETIC (26) is configured to generate an ET voltage based on a target voltage (VTGT) for amplifying a radio frequency (RF) signal(s). Since the ETIC has inherent impedance and group delay that can cause distortion in the ET voltage, an equalizer circuit (24) is provided in the ETIC to equalize the target voltage prior to generating the ET voltage. Specifically, the equalizer circuit generates an equalized target voltage to offset the inherent impedance and a modified target voltage to mitigate the group delay. Accordingly, the equalizer circuit can output a processed target voltage, which can include the equalized target voltage and/or the modified target voltage, for generating the ET voltage. As a result, it is possible to reduce distortion resulted from the inherent impedance and group delay, especially when the RF signal(s) is modulated in a wide modulation bandwidth.

摘要: A power amplifier can include a carrier amplifier having first and second differential amplification cells with outputs coupled by a primary loop of a carrier transformer, and a peaking amplifier having first and second differential amplification cells with outputs coupled by a primary loop of a peaking transformer. The power amplifier can further include a combiner having a quarter-wave circuit implemented between the secondary loop of the carrier transformer and a secondary loop of the peaking transformer. The quarter-wave circuit can be configured to provide a characteristic impedance, such that the carrier and peaking amplifiers are presented with an impedance that is approximately the same as the characteristic impedance when both of the carrier and peaking amplifiers are turned on, and the carrier amplifier is presented with an impedance that is approximately twice the characteristic impedance when the carrier amplifier is turned on and the peaking amplifier is turned off.

摘要: Aspects of this disclosure relate to dynamic error vector magnitude (DEVM) compensation. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes an amplifier, a low pass filter, and a bias circuit. The amplifier, such as a power amplifier, can amplify an input signal. The low pass filter, such as an integrator, can generate a correction signal based at least partly on an indication of a duty cycle of the amplifier. The indication of the duty cycle of the amplifier can be an enable signal for the amplifier, for example. The bias circuit can generate a bias signal based at least partly on the correction signal and provide the bias signal to the amplifier to bias the amplifier.

摘要: Disclosed are systems, devices, and methodologies to reduce harmonics in a radio frequency output signal. A power amplifier system comprises a power amplifier and a tunable output matching network electrically connected between the output of the power amplifier and an output of the tunable output matching network. The tunable output matching network reduces second-order harmonics in an amplified radio frequency signal when the power amplifier operates in a low frequency mode. The tunable output matching network includes traps such as a series inductor and a first capacitor in series with a first switch, a second capacitor in series with a second switch, and a third capacitor in series with a third switch, where the traps are tuned to selected harmonic frequencies when the power amplifier operates in the low frequency band of the operating band of frequencies.
