Abstract
A load-modulated amplifier system is disclosed having a main amplifier with drain or collector voltage bias input, and an auxiliary amplifier having a static drain or collector voltage bias input. Also disclosed is a programmable voltage bias controller having a data interface configured to receive operating traffic level data symbol data associated with a basestation. The programmable bias controller further includes a processor coupled to the data interface and configured, in response to the traffic or symbol data, to determine and apply bias levels to the carrier drain or collector bias input and the auxiliary drain or collector bias input and to provide an amplifier efficiency theoretically between 60% and 78.5% over the low traffic operation zone −9 dB to −15 dB backed off from amplifier peak power.
