  • Polar amplification transmitter distortion reduction
    Patent number: 9344041
    Abstract: A method of optimizing a transmitter, the transmitter including a polar amplification stage including a main signal path and a magnitude signal path, a receiver being located with the transmitter, the method comprising: generating an amplified signal for transmission at the output of the amplifier; tuning the receiver to a frequency to reject the intended transmit signal of the transmitter; determining a characteristic of a signal detected in the receiver representing an indication of distortion in the transmitted signal; and adjusting a setting of the transmitter in dependence on the determined characteristic.
    Type: Grant

  • Method and apparatus for controlling an amplifier
    Patent number: 6952135
    Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for controlling the operation of an amplifier, in which, a bias level applied to the amplifier is adjusted so as to generate an output signal having the desired level of peak to mean ratio.
