Abstract
The embodiments described herein include amplifiers configured for use in radio frequency (RF) applications. In accordance with these embodiments, the amplifiers are implemented to generate a shaped envelope signal, and to apply the shaped envelope signal to transistor gate(s) of the amplifier to provide gate bias modulation. So configured, the shaped envelope signal may facilitate high linearity in the amplifier.
