  • Patent number: 7639084
    Abstract: A power amplifier amplifying an input signal is provided, comprising a power amplifier circuit, a bias circuit, and a compensation circuit. The power amplifier circuit has an input impedance responsive to the input signal, and amplifies the input signal to generate an output signal. The bias circuit is coupled to the power amplifier circuit, generates a DC bias signal to the power amplifier so that the power amplifier amplifies the input signal. The compensation circuit is coupled to the power amplifier circuit, provides a compensation impedance responsive to the input signal such that a combination of the input impedance and the compensation impedance is substantially constant regardless of the input signal.

  • Publication number: 20080125060
    Abstract: A wireless communication device. The wireless communication device comprises first and second programmable frequency dividers, a mixer, a modulator, a phase detector, and a variable controlled oscillator. The first programmable frequency divider divides the frequency of a reference signal by a factor N to generate a modulating signal. The second programmable frequency divider divides the reference signal by a factor M and outputs a frequency-divided signal. The facts N and M are positive integers. The mixer down-converting a transmission signal according the divided signal and outputs a translation-loop signal. The modulator modulates the modulating signal with baseband signals, and outputs a comparison signal. The phase detector detects a phase difference between the comparison signal and the translation-loop signal. The variable controlled oscillator modifies the transmission signals according to an output of the phase detector.

  • Patent number: 7362179
    Abstract: A power amplifier circuit amplifying an input signal to an output signal and a method thereof. The power amplifier circuit comprises a ramp controller, a current source, and a first amplification stage. The ramp controller receives an enable signal to generate a ramp signal. The current source is coupled to the ramp controller, produces a ramp current by the ramp signal. The first amplification stage is coupled to the current source, comprises a first supply voltage input coupled to a fixed supply voltage, and is biased by the ramp current to amplify the input signal such that an envelope of the output signal is a ramp.
