Abstract
A multi-phase amplifier circuit includes an amplification circuit configured to generate a plurality of phase signals and to provide the plurality of phase signals to a plurality of inductors. An inductive coupling between a first pair of inductors differs from an inductive coupling between a second pair of inductors by a first coupling difference. The amplification circuit is configured to provide two phase signals comprising a first phase difference of less than 180° to the first pair of inductors and two further phase signals comprising the first phase difference to the second pair of inductors. An inductive coupling between a third pair of inductors differs from an inductive coupling between a fourth pair of inductors by a second coupling difference. The amplification circuit is configured to provide two phase signals comprising a second phase difference of 180° to the third pair of inductors and two further phase signals comprising the second phase difference to the fourth pair of inductors.
