Patent number: 6567653Abstract: Power amplifier mode control and an associated switching arrangement permit a wireless communications device, such as a mobile terminal, to advantageously use the same transmitter power amplifier in both digital and analog operating modes. Analog mode requires the mobile terminal to operate its receiver and transmitter in full-duplex mode, thus requiring a duplexer for separating the receive signal from the transmit signal. Digital mode requires the mobile terminal to operate its receiver and transmitter in half-duplex mode, eliminating the need for the duplexer. In a basic implementation, the mobile terminal includes a switching arrangement allowing the duplexer to be switched in and out of the power amplifier transmit path. For reasons of signal requirements and operating efficiency, the mobile terminal adjusts the operating point of the power amplifier such that it operates linearly or quasi-linearly when in the mobile terminal is in digital mode.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2000Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Ericsson Inc.Inventor: Stuart Baker Sanders
