Abstract
An embodiment of the present disclosure relates to a method of controlling a power amplifier (PA). The PA can comprise a main PA path and an auxiliary PA path. The auxiliary PA path can have a plurality of turn-on settings. The method can comprise: determining a power back off gain and a lower bound gain for the PA; and performing an iterative auxiliary PA turn-on setting selection process. The selection process can comprise: determining an instantaneous power input to the PA; based on the instantaneous power input, choosing a turn-on setting in the plurality of turn-on settings of the auxiliary PA path that causes an instantaneous gain of the PA to be between the power back off gain and the lower bound gain; and applying the chosen turn-on setting to the auxiliary PA path.
