  • Patent number: 10812026
    Abstract: Envelope tracking can be employed to reduce power consumption of a power amplifier, but envelope tracking can introduce nonlinearities to a power amplifier. These nonlinearities can manifest themselves as noise at the output of the power amplifier. Embodiments described herein provide techniques for characterizing a parameter indicative of power amplifier noise when envelope tracking is employed. Measurement of this parameter can permit power amplifier designers to decide whether to forgo envelope tracking if a power amplifier is too susceptible to such noise, redesign the power amplifier to improve compatibility with envelope tracking, or to employ distortion compensation circuitry to reduce the noise output by the power amplifier. Counterintuitively, this distortion compensation circuitry may involve increasing the power, such as the envelope tracking power supply. However, increasing the power may be a desirable trade-off for increased linearity.
