  • Patent number: 7907014
    Abstract: A system and method for dynamic adjustment of drain or collector voltage of a power amplifier (PA), including a PA having a voltage input, a temperature sensor measuring ambient temperature of the PA, and an adaptive PA control processor that dynamically changes the input voltage based on the ambient temperature, achieving a desired peak power when the system is subjected to high temperatures. In a further embodiment, a power sensor measures output power of the PA, and the control processor dynamically changes the voltage based on output power when the system serves a large cell in a mobile communication infrastructure employing high power. In a further embodiment, a multistage PA and method include amplifier stages having drain or collector voltage inputs, wherein a voltage applied to the inputs are set so as to be proportional to the peak power requirements of each stage, enhancing overall efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6563540
    Abstract: In an image capture system having a sensor with a first node and a second node, a method of capturing image data is disclosed. The first node is reset. The second node is reset. An image is collected on the first node. A first pixel value is then transferred from the first node to the second node after a first predetermined time period. The first pixel value and a second pixel value is then provided after a second predetermined time period. An arithmetic operation is performed on the first pixel value and the second pixel value. A system for performing the method is also disclosed.
