Abstract
An RF transceiver having dual-mode envelope restoration architecture. In narrow-band applications such as GSM/EDGE, a switch-mode amplifier is used to provide an envelope signal for amplitude modulating the phase-modulated signals. To achieve required modulation bandwidth in wide-band applications such as WDCMA, an analog amplifier is used to provide the envelope signal. Furthermore, in the wide-band mode, the envelope modulation is applied through the base of an emitter follower while the collector voltage is scaled to achieve a desired power output in the amplitude-modulated signals.
