AN-1438 A Simple Method to Reduce DC Power Consumption in CDMA RF Power Amplifiers Through the LMV225 and an Efficient Switcher
ثبت نشده
چکیده
This application report presents a simple power tracking technique for efficiency enhancement in CDMA RF power amplifiers. This technique involves the use of a linear-in-dB RF power detector and a DC-DC converter switch. This enhancement scheme switches the DC supply voltage, VCC, of an RF power amplifier into two different levels through a DC-DC converter. Texas Instruments RF power detector LMV225 determines the supply voltage of the RF power amplifier. An off-the-shelf CDMA2000 RF power amplifier can be used in this technique to improve the energy efficiency of the mobile phone.

FPGA Implementation of a Hammerstein Based Digital Predistorter for Linearizing RF Power Amplifiers with Memory Effects
Power amplifiers (PAs) are inherently nonlinear elements and digital predistortion is a highly cost-effective approach to linearize them. Although most existing architectures assume that the PA has a memoryless nonlinearity, memory effects of the PAs in many applications ,such as wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA) or orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM), can no longer b...
