Latest Patents
One of Khoi Tam Vu's latest patents is a segmented power amplifier and method of control. This invention features an amplifier that provides two or more selectively enabled amplifier segments, allowing a source signal to be amplified with a selectable output power. The design includes a bias circuit that responds to a bias control signal, enabling selectable combinations of one or more amplifier segments. This allows for the selection of a desired output power, which corresponds to an overall amplifier quiescent current that decreases with decreasing output signal power. The amplifier is particularly useful for controlling systems, such as mobile terminals, to amplify a transmit signal with a selectable output power and corresponding level of amplifier quiescent power consumption. Each segment of the amplifier comprises one or more transistor amplification stages, which are biased to permit maximum power linear amplification for the transmit signal.
