In particular, we propose a new predistortion architecture for the ET amplifier. In addition, we develop new algorithms for time misalignment compensation between the input signals of the ET amplifier and compare the methods to a previously presented method. Our results indicate that using the proposed architecture with optimal predistorter, we achieve over 40 dB better adjacent channel power than using a previously presented architecture. In addition, the time misalignment compensation methods give very accurate timing estimates. The time misalignment compensation with the predistortion reduces spectral regrowth due to the nonlinear ET amplifier and improves the power efficiency of the ET amplifier.

A Hysteretic Two-phase Supply Modulator for Envelope Tracking RF Power Amplifiers

In this paper a two-phase supply modulator suitable for envelope tracking power amplifier is presented. The designed supply modulator has the linear assisted switching architecture. Two-phase architecture is used in order to reduce the output switching ripples. The proposed architecture uses hysteretic control instead of pulse width modulation (PWM) which significantly reduces the circuit compl...
