An amplifier may include first and second terminals to receive first and second input signals and a differential amplifier providing differential amplification of the first and second input signals. The differential amplifier may include a first differential amplifier stage to receive the first input signal and a second differential amplifier stage to receive the second input signal. The amplifier may further include a first bias circuit to bias the first differential amplifier stage, where the first bias circuit is connected to the second input terminal to provide anti-phase bias control of the first differential amplifier stage. The amplifier may further include a second bias circuit to bias the second differential amplifier stage, where the second bias circuit is connected to the first input terminal to provide anti-phase bias control of the second differential amplifier stage.

Linearization of differential RF power amplifier by bias control using cross-coupling components

In a representative embodiment, a multiple mode power amplifier that is operable in a first power mode and a second power mode. The multiple mode power amplifier comprises a first amplifying unit; a second amplifying unit; a first impedance matching network connected to an output port of the first amplifying unit; a second impedance matching network connected to an output port of the second amplifying unit and to the first impedance matching network; and a third impedance matching network connected to the output ports of the first and the second amplifying units. The third impedance matching network reduces a phase difference between signals amplified by the first and the second amplifying units in the first mode.
