Abstract: The wireless RF semiconductor system is described for use in wireless communication devices that operate in frequency range from approximately 6 GigaHertz (GHz) to 100 GHz. The system comprises of at least one RF antenna and at least one RF integrated circuit fabricated (or built) on the same semiconductor substrate inside a one single packaged module. The wireless RF semiconductor system is described in a variety of different configurations with its functionality divided up over several single chip circuits. The system simplifies assembly, reduces size and cost, and allows for a quick time to market, while maximizing the RF performance demanded by fixed and mobile 4G, 5G and other wireless standards. The system uses a novel idea of configuration and packaging of active and passive RF components into a single module. This in turn allows RF manufacturers to unlock the potential of very high frequencies operation that were previously thought too expensive and unattainable to average user.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) system is described for use in a wireless communication device. The RF system may contain power amplifiers, additional circuitry and components (e.g., gain controllers, phase shifters), and/or antennas. The RF system is described in a variety of different configurations with its functionality divided up over several single chip circuits. Using the single chip circuits simplifies assembly, reduces size, and allows for high speed RF performance demanded by fixed and mobile wireless standards. The system may use a first amplifier circuit combined with an adjacent channel leakage correction circuit so that the output of the first amplifier has the signal leakage substantially cancelled.

Abstract: A linear amplifier circuit includes a multi-stage power amplifier that can amplify an input signal to produce an output signal, and a gain feedback control circuit coupled with the output and the input of the multi-stage power amplifier. An adjacent-channel leakage feedback control circuit can detect the output signal at the output of the multi-stage power amplifier and reduce adjacent-channel leakage in the output signal over an output power range based on the detected output signal.
