  • Publication number: 20180294825
    Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling a power amplifier includes combining a digital modulated data signal with a digital bias signal to generate a combined digital signal, the digital bias signal generated based on an envelope for the modulated data signal; converting, by a digital-to-analog converter, the combined digital signal into a combined analog signal, the combined analog signal comprising an analog modulated data signal and an analog envelope bias signal; and separating the analog modulated data signal and the analog bias signal onto separate signal paths, wherein the converting is performed using a single digital-to-analog converter.

  • Patent number: 9432065
    Abstract: A communication system includes a communication transceiver with analog interfaces to interface to baseband circuitry and PAs/LNAs. The communication transceiver can include digital tuning and an analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converter to allow the digital tuner to communicate with the baseband circuitry and PAs/LNAs A plurality of switches may be provided so that the analog-to-digital converter and digital-to-analog converter may be shared for both the interface to the baseband circuitry and the interface to the PAs/LNAs.
