DYNAMIC BIAS CONTROL
Systems and methods for controlling a power amplifier includes combining a digital modulated data signal with a digital bias signal to generate a combined digital signal, the digital bias signal generated based on an envelope for the modulated data signal; converting, by a digital-to-analog converter, the combined digital signal into a combined analog signal, the combined analog signal comprising an analog modulated data signal and an analog envelope bias signal; and separating the analog modulated data signal and the analog bias signal onto separate signal paths, wherein the converting is performed using a single digital-to-analog converter.
POWER AMPLIFIER MODULE
A power amplifier module includes an output-stage amplifier, a driver-stage amplifier, an input switch, an output switch, an input matching circuit, an inter-stage matching circuit, an output matching circuit, and a control circuit. The input switch selectively connects one of a plurality of input signal paths to an input terminal of the driver-stage amplifier. The output switch selectively connects one of a plurality of output signal paths to an output terminal of the output-stage amplifier. The control circuit controls operations of the driver-stage amplifier and the output-stage amplifier. The input switch, the output switch, and the control circuit are integrated into an IC chip. The control circuit is disposed between the input switch and the output switch.

CALIBRATING A WIRELESS DEVICE FOR DETERMINING POSITIONING USING WIRELESS SIGNALS
This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatuses for compensating for differences in path delays and phase offsets between receive paths of a wireless device. In one aspect, a device receives a first wireless signal using first and second receive paths, determines a first channel phase response of the first wireless signal as received by the first receive path, and determines a second channel phase response of the first wireless signal as received by the second receive path. The device compares the first and second channel phase responses with an expected channel phase response, and determines, for each of the first receive path and the second receive path, one or more phase correction values based on the comparison. The device adjusts the first and second channel phase responses based on the phase correction values.
