  • Patent number: 9066305
    Abstract: A mobile communication device and a method thereof. The mobile communication device includes a processor, a transceiver circuit, an amplifier circuit, and a control logic circuit. The processor generates a baseband signal and a gain control signal. The transceiver circuit converts the baseband signal to an analog form, and amplifies the converted baseband signal to output a first transmission signal. The amplifier circuit amplifies the first transmission signal to output a second transmission signal. The control logic circuit controls the transceiver circuit and the amplifier circuit based on the gain control signal to generate the second transmission signal. The transceiver circuit adopts one of a first plurality of power gain levels at an increasing sequence when the amplifier circuit adopts a lowest level of a second plurality of power gain levels.

  • Patent number: 8958762
    Abstract: An apparatus for power management for use in a mobile device includes an RF (Radio Frequency) circuit, a power amplifier, a processor, and a DC to DC (Direct Current to Direct Current) converter. The processor is configured to generate a baseband signal. The RF circuit is configured to generate an RF signal according to the baseband signal. The power amplifier is configured to amplify the RF signal according to a supply voltage so as to generate an output signal. The processor is configured to detect an envelope of the RF signal, and to generate a control signal according to the envelope of the RF signal. The DC to DC converter operates in an APT (Average Power Tracking) mode or an ET (Envelope Tracking) mode so as to generate the supply voltage.
