Description
ロの利得圧縮に対応付けられる供給電圧の電圧レベルに対応する第1の値に設定し、電力検出器が電力増幅器の利得圧縮が所望の利得圧縮とほぼ等しいことを示すまで、較正データを変えることにより、供給電圧の電圧レベルを減少するよう構成されている。
2の入力電力レベルに対応する較正データの値とほぼ等しい較正データの値を選択することを含む。
ここにある見出しは便宜上のものであり、クレームに記載の発明の範囲または意味を必然的に影響するものではない。
能である。GSM帯域の変形および/または地域的/国別実施も、世界の異なる場所で用いられている。
900MHzの帯域の1つ以上で動作可能であるのに対して、特定のWCDMA(登録商標)およびロングタームエボリューション(LTE)装置は、たとえば約22の無線周波数スペクトル帯域で動作可能である。
きる。デュプレクサ12はさらに、信号のフィルタ処理を含む、付加的機能を提供するよう構成可能である。
ル52、および供給電圧調整モジュール54は、包絡線信号に対応して電源電圧VCCを変動または変更するよう構成されている包絡線トラッカーとして集合的に動作可能である。
、電源電圧VCCを用いて電源投入される。
図3Aにおいて、グラフ47はRF信号41の電圧および電力増幅器の電源43対時間を示す。RF信号41は包絡線42を有する。
包絡線42との差異を減らすのが望ましいこともある。なぜなら、電力増幅器の電源43とRF信号41の包絡線42との間の領域はエネルギ損失を表わし得るからであり、これは電池の寿命を減らし、移動装置で発生する熱を増やす。
ことができる。包絡線トラッカー22はRF信号RFINの包絡線を受取り、包絡線信号をトラッキングする電力増幅器32用の電力増幅器供給電圧VCCを生成することができる。
、RF信号RFINは、バイポーラトランジスタ61のベースに与えることができる。バイポーラトランジスタ61は、RF信号RFINを増幅して、増幅されたRF信号RFOUTを
コレクタで生成することができる。バイポーラトランジスタ61は任意の適切な装置であり得る。一実施において、バイポーラトランジスタ61は、ヘテロ接合バイポーラトランジスタ(HBT)である。
可能である。電力増幅器32とデュプレクサ12との間の電気的接続を終わらせる助けとして、インピーダンス整合ブロック64を用いることができる。たとえば、インピーダンス整合ブロック64を用いて、電力伝送を増加させ、および/または増幅されたRF信号RFOUTの反射を減少させることができる。特定の実施において、インダクタ62は、イ
ンピーダンス整合ブロック64の一部として動作するよう構成可能である。
を有することができ、多様な機能を実施できる。たとえば、バイパスキャパシタ63を含めることにより、供給電圧VCCのノイズを減らし、および/または電力増幅器32の出力を安定化させることができる。付加的に、バイパスキャパシタ63を用いて、インダクタ62用のRFおよび/またはAC接地を与えることができる。
多様な電力増幅器構造に適用できることは理解できるであろう。たとえば、一部の実施において、バイポーラトランジスタ61を省いて、たとえばシリコンFETといった電界効果トランジスタ(FET)、ガリウムヒ素(GaAs)高電子移動度トランジスタ(HEMT)、または横方向に拡散した金属酸化膜半導体(LDMOS)トランジスタを代わりに用いることができる。
32、および方向性結合器88を含む。
、乗算して、スケーリングされた包絡線信号を生成するよう構成できる。しかし、スケーリングモジュール81は包絡線信号を適切な態様でスケーリングするよう、較正データを用いることができる。
ュール82、デジタル−アナログ変換器83、およびモジュレータ84を含む。図7の電力増幅システムは、上記の図6の電力増幅システムと類似し得る。しかし、図6に示される電力増幅システム98に対して、図7に示される電力増幅システム99は、VGA31の利得を制御するための、較正モジュール90および乗算器91を含む。
させることができる。
上記の実施の形態の一部は、携帯電話に関連した実施例を提供している。しかし、当該実施の形態の原理および利点は、電力増幅システムを必要とする他のシステムまたは装置に向けて用いることができる。
本明細書において、内容が明確に他のものを示さない限り、「備える」、「含む」などの文言は、占有的および排他的な意味ではなく、包括する意味として解釈される、すなわち「含むが、限定されない」の意味がある。「結合」の文言はここで一般に用いられるように、直接接続される、または1つ以上の介在するエレメントによって接続される2つ以上のエレメントに対して用いられる。同様に、「接続」の文言も、直接接続される、または1つ以上の介在するエレメントによって接続される2つ以上のエレメントに対して用いられる。さらに、本願で用いられる「ここに」、「上」、「下」および同様の文言は、全体として本願を指し、本願の特定の部分を指すものではない。文脈に照らして、単数または複数を用いた詳細な説明の文言は、それぞれ複数形または単数形をも含み得る。2つ以上の項目の列挙に対する「または」の文言は、その文言の以下の解釈すべてを網羅する、すなわち、列挙されている項目のいずれか、列挙されている項目のすべて、および列挙されている項目の任意の組合せを網羅する。
び/または状態が特定の実施の形態において含まれるのかまたは行なわれるのかを判断するための論理を必ずしも含むことを意味するものではない。
