  • Publication number: 20160249300
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are provided to calibrate a closed-loop envelop tracking system for a power amplifier of a wireless transmitter using standardized modulation signals. In one novel aspect, a closed-loop adaptive method is used to track changes in PA nonlinearity due to environmental or circuitry changes during operating condition using standardized modulation signals. In one embodiment, the PA supply voltage compensation lookup table (LUT) and/or the phase compensation LUT is updated during normal operation to sustain good linearity and efficiency performance. In another novel aspect, the PA target response is adjusted in response to changes in PA-related system configuration, such as changes in PA bias settings, and/or indicators measured from the transmitter such as changes in impedance or temperature changes for the RF module or the PA module. The PA supply voltage compensation LUT and/or the phase LUT is updated accordingly upon adjustment of the PA target response.
