  • Patent number: 11258410
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses a hybrid switched capacitor array power amplifier (H-SCPA). The H-SCPA may have an array of storage elements divided into sub-arrays. A first sub-array may be configured to receive a delta sigma modulated (DSM) signal. A second sub-array may be configured to receive a Nyquist-rate signal. The H-SCPA may provide an output based on the received DSM and Nyquist-rate signals. The first sub-array and second sub-array may have different architectures. The DSM signal may represent the least significant bits of the signal and the Nyquist-rate signal may represent the most significant bits of the signal.

  • Patent number: 10797773
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure are drawn to apparatuses and methods for transmission beamforming. A multiphase beam steering transmitter may include a transmitter array of multiple transmitters. A transmitter may include a multiphase logic decoder that directly controls a power amplifier to perform a vector addition of a beam phase and amplitude. A transmitter of the array may include a multiphase clock generator that outputs basis phases with embedded phase modulation data which are output to the multiphase logic decoder. The multiphase clock generator may receive a modulated clock signal. The PA may be a multiphase switched capacitor power amplifier. The multiphase logic decoder may output two phases adjacent to a desired phase as inputs to clocks of the SCPA. The multiphase logic decoder may further output a control signal that determines which cells in the SCPA are activated and when.
