DYNAMIC ERROR VECTOR MAGNITUDE COMPENSATION
Aspects of this disclosure relate to compensating for dynamic error vector magnitude. A compensation circuit can generate a compensation signal based at least partly on an amount of time that an amplifier, such as a power amplifier, is turned off between successive transmission bursts of the amplifier. For example, the compensation circuit can charge a capacitor based at least partly on an amount of time that the amplifier is turned off between successive transmission bursts and generate the compensation signal based at least partly on an amount of charge stored on the capacitor. A bias circuit can receive the compensation signal, generate a bias signal based at least partly on the compensation signal, and provide the bias signal to the amplifier to bias the amplifier.
WIDE BANDPASS FILTERING POWER AMPLIFIER
A wide bandpass filtering power amplifier using discriminating coupling is disclosed, which comprises a DC bias circuit, an input impedance matching circuit, a transistor and an output impedance matching circuit. The DC bias circuit is connected to the input impedance matching circuit which is further connected to the transistor, and the transistor is further connected to the output impedance matching circuit which comprises a tuning microstrip line and a bandpass filter. The complexity and the area of the impedance matching circuit in the power amplifier are effectively reduced. At the same time, the filtering PA has good frequency selectivity by using the discriminating coupling BPF. Meanwhile the work efficiency and bandwidth of the filtering power amplifier are effectively improved by taking both of the extended continuous mode theory and filter synthesis theory into account.
ULTRA COMPACT MULTI-BAND TRANSMITTER WITH ROBUST AM-PM DISTORTION SELF-SUPPRESSION TECHNIQUES
A communication device includes a power amplifier that generates power signals according to one or more operating bands of communication data, with the amplitude being driven and generated in output stages of the power amplifier.

During a back-off power mode a bias of a capacitive unit of the output power network component can be adjusted to minimize an overall capacitance variation. A output passive network can further generate a flat-phase response between dual resonances of operation.
