Abstract

Electronic devices with wireless communications capabilities are provided. The electronic device may include storage and processing circuitry, power amplifier circuitry, power supply circuitry, etc. The storage and processing circuitry may direct the power amplifier circuitry to operate using a desired power mode, in allocated resource blocks within a particular frequency channel, and at a given output power level. The power supply circuitry may bias the power amplifier circuitry with a power supply voltage. The electronic device may be subject to in-band emissions requirements and adjacent channel leakage requirements that restrict the power levels produced by the device on frequencies that are not allocated to the device. The electronic device may optimize the power amplifier supply voltage based on allocated resource blocks by minimizing the supply voltage to reduce power consumption while ensuring that emissions requirements are satisfied.
