Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of high efficiency power amplifiers. More particularly, the invention relates to a circuitry for efficiently controlling the impedance at a connection point of a power supply to a power amplifier, being a feeding point, and providing enhancement of the voltage that is delivered to said power amplifier via supplementary supply paths that are used to connect the power supply to that point.
- RF systems containing power amplifiers are characterized in recurrent periods of signals having large peak excursions, which should be handled, in order to improve the efficiency of these systems.
- One way to handle signals with large peak-to-average ratios is to control the DC power supply to a power amplifier.
- One voltage level is supplied to such a power amplifier whenever the instantaneous amplitude is below a given level (normal operating condition), and an enhanced (and higher) voltage level whenever the instantaneous amplitude is above said level.
- This solution is described for example, in WO 01/67598, which discloses circuitry for dynamically enhancing the operating voltage of an RF amplifier.
- efficiency of the voltage enhancement circuit disclosed therein may be further increased by controlling the impedance values at the connection point between the power amplifier and the power supply, during normal operation and during voltage enhancement time periods.
- a power amplifier it is therefore desired to allow a power amplifier to work under different operating power supply voltages, in response to different input signals or conditions under which the power amplifier, or a component contained within it, operates.
- a power amplifier it has been found beneficial to provide it with a DC power through a first supply path whenever the signal at its input is below a predetermined level, and add a second and a third supplemental power supply paths at instants wherein the signal at its input is above that level, thus enhancing the effective voltage supplied to said power amplifier.
- This type of solution allows operating a power amplifier in a relatively large dynamic range with high efficiency, as the enhanced operating voltage source is coupled to the circuit only when required by the large instantaneous amplitude.
- US 6,831, 519B2 discloses circuitry that allows efficient enhancement of the voltage supplied to a power amplifier during required time periods. This circuitry controls the level of the voltage supplied to a power amplifier, via a supplementary supply path that is connected to the feeding point, during both the enhancement period, and periods of normal operation (also called "normal period"). However, the level of enhancement provided by the circuitry of has not been sufficient for more high power applications.
- the enhancement current is provided by a coupling capacitor, which has a limited capability to pass low frequency components of the enhancement pulse.
- the present invention is directed to an improved method for allowing improved pulse-type enhancement of the voltage supplied to a power amplifier fed by a power supply being connected to the power amplifier at a first feeding point through a main supply path connected via a first inductor having a high impedance to an enhancement pulse at the feeding point, and to a second feeding point.
- a first supplementary supply path is used for providing enhanced operating voltage to the power amplifier that is connected to a first power supply.
- a pair of a first and a second controllable impedances that are connected by a common contact is provided and have a separate control input and being capable of being in a non-conducting state is also provided. At least one of them is capable of being in a desired variable level of conduction up to full conduction.
- a second supplementary supply path is used for providing enhanced operating voltage to the power amplifier, through a second inductor that is connected to a second power supply and to the common contact.
- One contact of the first controllable impedance is connected to the second feeding point, while the first power supply is connected across the contacts of the pair which are not connected to the common contact.
- a capacitor is connected between the common contact and the first feeding point and an inductive pair is formed by generating mutual coupling between the first and second inductors.
- the first controllable impedance is controlled through its separate control input, to be in its conducting state and effectively connect the common contact to the second feeding point of one of the first power supply and the second power supply.
- the second controllable impedance is controlled through its separate control input, to be in its non-conducting state. The common contact is effectively disconnected from the second feeding point and the capacitor is charged to essentially the voltage of the power supply.
- the first controllable impedance is controlled through its separate control input, to effectively disconnect the common contact from one contact of power supply.
- the second controllable impedance is controlled through its separate control input, to be in a conduction level that corresponds to a desired enhancement voltage level at the first feeding point, such that a portion of the required enhancement power is supplied by the inductive pair and another portion is supplied by the capacitor.
- the magnitude of the voltage at the common point, to which a contact of the capacitor is connected is increased, while causing an essentially similar increase in the voltage at the first feeding point, to which the other contact of the capacitor is connected, up to the desired enhancement voltage level.
- the inductors forming the pair may be wound on the same core, so as to form a transformer.
- the present invention is directed to a circuitry for providing improved pulse- type enhancement of the voltage supplied to a power amplifier fed by a power supply being connected to the power amplifier at a first feeding point through a main supply path connected via a first inductor having a high impedance to an enhancement pulse at the feeding point, and to a second feeding point, that comprises: a) a first supplementary supply path for providing enhanced operating voltage to the power amplifier connected to a first power supply; b) a pair of a first and a second controllable impedances being connected by a common contact, each of which having a separate control input and being capable of being in a non-conducting state, and at least one of which is capable of being in a desired variable level of conduction up to full conduction, such that one contact of the first controllable impedance is connected to the second feeding point and the first power supply is connected across the contacts of the pair which are not connected to the common contact; c) a second supplementary supply path for providing enhanced perating voltage to the power amplifier, through
- the circuitry is configured such that during the time period when no enhancement is required, the first controllable impedance is controlled to be in its conducting state and effectively connect the common contact to the second feeding point of one of the first power supply and the second power supply, and the second controllable impedance is controlled to be in its non-conducting state and thereby, effectively disconnecting the common contact from the second feeding point and allowing the capacitor to charge to essentially the voltage of the power supply; and
- the circuitry is also configured such that during the time period when enhancement is required, the first controllable impedance is controlled to effectively disconnect the common contact from one contact of the, or another power supply, and the second controllable impedance is controlled to be in a conduction level that corresponds to a desired enhancement voltage level at the first feeding point, such that a portion of the required enhancement power is supplied by the inductive pair and another portion is supplied by the capacitor.
- the controllable impedance may comprises a bipolar transistor or a FET.
- the first and second inductors are wound on the same coil, so as to form a transformer.
- the first and/or the second controllable impedances are controlled by pulse signals having a duration which is essentially similar to the time period.

- Fig. 2 schematically illustrates an implementation of a circuitry that controls the level of enhancement of the DC power that is supplied to a power amplifier according to prior art
- Fig 3 schematically illustrates the implementation of a circuitry that includes additional supplementary path to better control the level of enhancement of the DC power that is supplied to a power amplifier, according to a preferred embodiment of the invention.
- Fig. 1 is a block diagram of a circuitry that controls the level of enhancement of the voltage supplied to a power amplifier, according to prior art.
- the power amplifier 101 is supplied with operating voltage through a feeding point x, which is connected to a DC voltage supply 102 via the main supply path 103, and to a voltage enhancement pulse source 100, via a supplementary supply path 104.
- the Voltage Enhancement (VE) circuitry 100 increases the supply voltage at the feeding point x for a relatively short duration (in the order of the reciprocal of the modulation bandwidth), when voltage enhancement is required. Under normal operation conditions (i.e., when no enhancement is required), the feeding point x has an extremely low resistance to the DC current ii consumed from the DC voltage supply circuitry 102 (in the direction Dl).
- the VE pulse source 100 causes feeding point x to have an extremely low impedance to all the frequency components of the fluctuating current 12 generated by the power amplifier 101.
- the VE pulse source 100 issues a VE pulse and the DC voltage supply 102 concurrently allows the feeding point x to have a high impedance in the direction D2, such that the VE pulse is fully directed into the power amplifier 101, rather than being short- circuited into the DC voltage supply 102. Therefore, during the VE period the effective current i ⁇ +i%, supplied to the power amplifier 101 comprises an enhanced component h, as required by the large instantaneous amplitude of the RF signal amplified by the power amplifier 101.
- Fig. 2 schematically illustrates an implementation of the circuitry of Fig. 1, according to prior art.
- the VE circuitry 100 consists of two serially connected controllable impedances and (e.g., FETs or bipolar transistors), which are also connected between the contacts of the power supply V DC , or of a supplementary power SUPpIyF 1 ) C 2 .
- the power supply V DC ⁇ used to supply power to the power amplifier 101 under normal operation conditions, is connected to the feeding point x through a serial inductor L ⁇ , which is selected to introduce extremely high impedance to the issued VE pulse, in the direction D2.
- the common point of controllable impedances Zl and Z2 is connected to the voltage supply feeding point by a capacitor Ci.
- Ci is selected to introduce low impedance to all the frequency components of the fluctuating current generated by the power amplifier 101.
- the value of Ci should be sufficiently large for supplying the excess current £2 for the (short) duration when the VE pulse is issued.
- the fluctuating components of h flow through capacitor Cl.
- Controllable impedances Zl and Z2 are implemented in this example using Field-Effect-Transistors (FETs), each of which is properly biased by an inductor L2 (which also serves as a choke for the exciting pulses, Pl and P2) connecting their gates to the biasing voltages VBI and VB2, respectively.
- FETs Field-Effect-Transistors
- Controllable impedances Zl and Z2 are controlled by separate control pulses, Pl and P2, respectively, through corresponding serial capacitors C2, which serve as DC-blocks (in order to isolate the control signals from the biasing voltages VBI and VB2.
- VBI is selected such that during normal operation conditions, Zl is in full conduction, effectively short-circuiting point y to ground by becoming a negligible impedance to ground.
- VB2 is selected such that during normal operation conditions, Z2 is effectively an open-circuit. In this state, the supplemental V DC 2 is essentially disconnected from the feeding point x.
- i ⁇ flows through Cl and Zl to ground, as required for proper operation of the power amplifier 101, while ii flows through capacitor Cl. Simultaneously, capacitor Cl is charged to a voltage that essentially equals F 0C1 .
- Zl When VE is required, Zl is forced by Pl to enter into its non-conducting state, having effectively infinite impedance, thereby effectively disconnecting C 1 from ground. Simultaneously, Z2 is allowed to be in a conducting level that corresponds to the amount of VE that is required, by properly controlling the level of P2. This allows the voltage at point y to rise above zero and by virtue of capacitor Cl, to enhance the voltage at point x. At this stage, Cl discharges into the power amplifier 101 through the feeding point x, thereby causing the supplemental current i% to flow in direction 22 for the duration of the control pulse P2.
- the level of enhancement depends on the value of the impedance R DS2 (i.e., the impedance of Z2 while being in the appropriate conducting measure).
- the duration of the VE pulse is determined by the duration of the control pulse P2.
- the voltage level V x at the feeding point x increases at the switching moment by a level determined by R DSl and the value of V DC .
- capacitor Cl discharges slightly, while participating in the VE process.
- Fig. 3 schematically illustrates an improved implementation of the circuit illustrated by Fig. 1, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- An ancillary low voltage power supply VDC3 is connected to by adding an inductor L3. During normal period, the DC current Is that flows through L3 continues to ground via the controllable impedance Zi.
- the total level of possible enhancement is increased, while minimizing distortion of the envelop of the amplified RF signal, since low frequency components of the enhancement pulse are transferred to the output of the enhancement circuitry by the transformer, while high frequency components of the enhancement pulse are transferred to the output of the enhancement circuitry by Ci.
