Abstract
An adaptively tuned RF power amplifier includes at least one power amplifier stage that has one or more active elements. A tunable output network is coupled to the power amplifier stage and includes one or more adjustable reactive elements. A mismatch detector detects a tuning mismatch based, at least in part, on one or more signals present within the tunable output network, and supplies one or more mismatch signals indicative of a detected tuning mismatch. A tuning controller, responsive to the one or more mismatch signals, controls one or more of the one or more adjustable reactive elements in the tunable output network so as to control the detected mismatch.
