    Abstract: Techniques for generating a power tracking supply voltage for a circuit (e.g., a power amplifier) are disclosed. The circuit may process multiple transmit signals being sent simultaneously on multiple carriers at different frequencies. In one exemplary design, an apparatus includes a power tracker and a power supply generator. The power tracker determines a power tracking signal based on inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) components of a plurality of transmit signals being sent simultaneously. The power supply generator generates a power supply voltage based on the power tracking signal. The apparatus may further include a power amplifier (PA) that amplifies a modulated radio frequency (RF) signal based on the power supply voltage and provides an output RF signal.

    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a RF power amplifier and a method for manufacturing a Doherty power amplifier. The RF power amplifier includes at least one transistor, a harmonic termination circuit, and an impedance inverter. The harmonic termination circuit has one terminal directly connected to the drain electrode of the transistor and contributes as a part of a harmonic matching network for the transistor at the second harmonic and/or the third harmonic of the fundamental frequency. The impedance inverter is configured to perform impedance inversion of a static load or a modulated load at the fundamental frequency without affected by the harmonic termination circuit.

    Abstract: A power amplifier module includes a first amplifier, a power splitter, a second amplifier, a third amplifier, a phase shifter, a combining unit, and a controller. The first amplifier amplifies a first signal and outputs a second signal. The power splitter splits the second signal into a third signal and a fourth signal. The second amplifier amplifies the third signal and outputs a fifth signal. The third amplifier amplifies the fourth signal and outputs a sixth signal. The phase shifter receives the fifth signal and shifts a phase of the fifth signal. The combining unit combines the fifth signal having the phase shifted by the phase shifter and the sixth signal and outputs an amplified signal of the second signal. The controller outputs a first control signal for controlling a power level of the sixth signal output from the third amplifier.

    Abstract: An amplifier DC bias protection circuit includes an amplifier module, a filter module and a comparator module. The amplifier module converts an input signal into a non-inverting signal and an inverting signal. The filter module blocks AC signals in the non-inverting signal and the inverting signal, thereby providing a first DC bias signal and a second DC bias signal accordingly. The comparator module is configured to determine whether the absolute value of a DC bias difference signal is greater than a predetermined value, and output a determination signal for deactivating the amplifier module when the absolute value of the DC bias difference signal is greater than the predetermined value. The DC bias difference signal is associated with the voltage difference between the first DC bias signal and the second DC bias signal.
