Abstract
Dynamic adjustment of the power amplifier bias of a power amplifier. Circuitry, disposed within an apparatus, measures the power level presently being handled by the power amplifier. The circuitry adjusts the power amplifier bias for a power amplifier based on the measurement of the power level presently being handled by the power amplifier and a desired fidelity experienced by RF signals processed by the power amplifier. The adjustment in the power amplifier bias for the power amplifier causes an adjustment in a power consumption of the power amplifier, thereby enabling great saving in the DC power required by a power amplifier, and thus, substantially reduces the power consumption of the apparatus in which it operates, such as a Remote PHY node, a Remote MACPHY node, a HFC RF amplifier, a wireless communication device, cellular transmission equipment, or a satellite transponder, for example.
