HIGH LINEARITY SATELLITE PAYLOAD USING SOLID STATE POWER AMPLIFIERS
A solid state power amplifier uses a Doherty power amplifier that can be implemented as a monolithic microwave integrated circuit. By adjusting the DC bias of the amplifying stages in each branch of the Doherty amplifier, the output power, linearity, and DC power can be adjusted to provide a specified output, where the specification for the output can include the maintaining of desired DC power and linearity. The Doherty power amplifier can be used in a satellite payload or other application utilizing solid state power amplifiers, while providing the proper amount of RF output power and DC power. A single amplifier can have its bias levels adjusted for different output levels, helping to minimize the number of designs that are required for a given satellite payload, reducing the variety of parts in a satellite payload.
Signal correction for carrier aggregation transceiver
A transceiver in a wireless device supporting carrier aggregation may include a correction module to generate a correction signal to attenuate intermodulation distortion associated with a first transmitted communication signal. In one embodiment, the correction signal may be added to the first transmitted communication signal (a victim signal) to reduce the intermodulation distortion caused by a second transmitted communication signal (an aggressor signal). The correction signal may be generated based on the aggressor signal. In another embodiment, the correction signal may equalize or pre-distort the first transmitted communication signal.
Envelope tracking power amplifier apparatus
An envelope tracking (ET) power amplifier apparatus is provided. The ET power amplifier apparatus includes a pair of power amplifiers configured to amplify a pair of radio frequency (RF) signals based on a pair of ET voltages. In one aspect, each of the RF signals is split before amplification and recombined after amplification. As such, the power amplifiers can operate based on half the peak power of the RF signals to help improve operating efficiency of the power amplifiers. In another aspect, the RF signals are pre-processed prior to amplification to form a pair of composite RF signals with similar average power such that the power amplifiers can operate based on substantially similar ET voltages. As a result, it may be possible to employ a single ET integrated circuit (ETIC) to provide the ET voltages, thus helping to reduce cost and footprint of the ET power amplifier apparatus.
