摘要： A multi-mode multi-band power amplifier (PA) module is described. In an exemplary design, the PA module includes multiple power amplifiers, multiple matching circuits, and a set of switches. Each power amplifier provides power amplification for its input signal when selected. Each matching circuit provides impedance matching and filtering for its power amplifier and provides a respective output signal. The switches configure the power amplifiers to support multiple modes, with each mode being for a particular radio technology. Each power amplifier supports at least two modes. The PA module may further include a driver amplifier and an additional matching circuit. The driver amplifier amplifies an input signal and provides an amplified signal to the power amplifiers. The additional matching circuit combines the outputs of other matching circuits and provides an output signal with higher output power. The driver amplifier and the power amplifiers can support multiple output power levels.

摘要： Reconfigurable impedance matching circuits with multiple configurations are disclosed. A reconfigurable impedance matching circuit may be implemented with a set of reactive elements (e.g., inductors and/or capacitors) and a set of switches. Different configurations may be obtained with different settings of the switches and may be associated with different impedance tuning curves. This may enable the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit to provide better impedance matching for a load circuit (e.g., an antenna). In an exemplary design, the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit includes at least one variable reactive element configured to tune the impedance of the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit in order to provide better impedance matching. In an exemplary design, the reconfigurable impedance matching circuit may include at least one reconfigurable reactive element, each of which can be connected as a series element or a shunt element.

摘要： Methods and apparatus for amplifier AM and PM predistortion and autocalibration. AM and PM amplifier distortion can be corrected using predistortion. The AM and PM distortion characteristics of the amplifier are determined using an autocalibration technique. The amplifier characteristics can be stored in distinct look up tables. Alternatively, the inverse of the amplifier characteristics can be stored in distinct look up tables. Signals that are to be amplified are characterized in polar format having a phase component with a normalized magnitude and a magnitude component. The phase component can be predistorted by applying the inverse of the PM distortion characteristics to the signal. Similarly, the magnitude component can be predistorted by applying the inverse of the AM distortion characteristics to the signal. The predistorted phase component can be amplified using the previously characterized amplifier. The predistorted magnitude component can be used to set the gain of the previously characterized amplifier.

摘要： Techniques for adaptively tuning an impedance matching circuit are disclosed. In an aspect, the impedance matching circuit is pre-characterized. The performance of the impedance matching circuit is determined for multiple settings of the impedance matching circuit, stored in memory, and used to tune the impedance matching circuit. In another aspect, the impedance matching circuit is tuned based on measurements for one or more parameters such as delivered power, return loss, power amplifier current, antenna/load impedance, etc. In an exemplary design, an apparatus includes a memory and a control unit. The memory stores information for multiple settings of an impedance matching circuit. The control unit selects one of the multiple settings of the impedance matching circuit based on the information for the multiple settings and measurements for the impedance matching circuit. The impedance matching circuit performs impedance matching for a load circuit (e.g., an antenna) based on the selected setting.
