Abstract
A method of applying an activation scheme to a digitally controlled segmented RF power transmitter having a plurality of adjacent segments (), each segment () having an associated activation area, the segments () being controlled by one or more code words (CWD) The method includes controlling segments () by activating a specific segment () using an activation scheme for activating specific ones of the segments () depending on the code word (CWD), the activation scheme starting from center ones of the plurality of segments () towards outer ones of the plurality of segments () for increasing code word (CWD) values. This method can be applied in any digitally controlled segmented RF power transmitter, be it in polar or Cartesian implementations, and in single ended or push-pull output configurations.
