摘要： A composite amplifier providing digitally selectable amplification includes a plurality of channels and a combiner. Each of the channels includes a digitally controllable selector, a Class-S power amplifier, and bandpass filter. The digitally controllable selector selectively couples a digital bitstream to the amplifier. The amplifier receives the digital bitstream and provides an amplified signal. The bandpass filter generates a filtered signal as a function of the amplified signal. The combiner couples filtered signals provided by the channels to form a composite output signal. A method of providing digitally selectable amplification includes steps of: selectively coupling a digital bitstream to a plurality of channels in the amplifier; amplifying the digital bitstream to provide an amplified signal associated with a corresponding one of the channels; filtering amplified signals associated with the channels to provide corresponding filtered signals; and combining the filtered signals to generate a composite output signal.

摘要： The invention may be embodied in a resynchronizing, push-pull drive circuit for driving the gate electrodes of a digital Class-S Radio Frequency Power Amplifier (RF-PA). A binary bitstream received from a bitstream generator, such as a sigma-delta modulator, Viterbi-based optimal-bit-pattern modulator sigma-delta, or other suitable modulator, is resynchronized to a low-jitter master clock, then converted to fast-rise, high-swing complementary digital signals to drive the gates of the Class-S RF-PA. The drive circuit provides a high slew-rate, large-swing, quasi-digital gate drive circuit to drive the significant gate capacitance of the RF-PA with sufficient rise times. A combination of bipolar transistor current switches and cascoded CMOS devices is employed to attain requisite performance. For example, the driving circuit is well suited for use with Class-S RF-PAs used in wireless communication systems.

摘要： The invention may be embodied in radio frequency power amplifier (RF-PA) predriver circuits employing a hybrid analog/digital RF architecture including a resynchronizing digital-to-analog convertor to drive an efficient high-power output stage suitable for driving standard high power amplifier (HPA) output devices. The hybrid analog/digital RF architecture retains the advantages of high digital content integration found in conventional Class-S architecture, while relaxing the performance requirements on the output transistors and on the bitstream generator. The resulting predriver circuit combines the VLSI integration benefits of digital designs with the extensibility to arbitrary output power levels characteristic of analog designs. The hybrid analog/digital driving circuit is well suited for use with analog and Class-S HPAs used in wireless communication systems, such as the Doherty type HPA.

摘要： An amplification system and an integrated circuit include a bandpass filter and an amplifier. The bandpass filter filters an input digital bitstream or an amplified signal to provide a filtered signal. The bandpass filter exhibits constant input impedance over a passband associated with the input digital bitstream, and a stopband associated with shaped-noise energy, thereby increasing signal-to-noise ratio and/or signal-to-distortion ratio associated with the filtered signal. The amplifier amplifies at least one of the filtered signal and the input digital bitstream to provide the amplified signal. A method of providing amplification includes bandpass filtering an input digital bitstream or an amplified signal to provide a filtered signal, providing constant input impedance over a passband and a stopband by the bandpass filtering, and amplifying at least one of the filtered signal and the input digital bitstream to provide the amplified signal.

摘要： A method and system for high density pulse density modulation is disclosed. In accordance with the present disclosure, a modulation function is split in to two band limited streams using a complementary pair of non-linear functions. More specifically, one bitstream definition contains the peaks of the original function while the other bitstream contains a soft clipping version of the original bitstream. The bitstreams are applied to a pair of switching amplifiers, and the bitstreams can be combined again to reconstruct the original function. The method in accordance with the present disclosure limits the amount of input power necessary to achieve higher output power, lowers operating voltage and improves power amplifier efficiency.
