Abstract
A wideband self-envelope tracking power amplifier (PA) can use more than a 40-MHz channel bandwidth and improves the envelope bandwidth limit of a self-envelope tracking PAs by ten times. The PA uses an envelope load network, which is based on a general multi-stage low-pass filter. The envelope load network located between an RF choke inductor and main DC power supply provides a dynamically modulated PA supply voltage without using a dedicated envelope amplifier. An input terminal of the network connects a main PA via an RF choke inductor to an input of low-pass filter. An output terminal is connected to the low-pass filter via an envelope choke inductor and to a direct current (DC) power supply. A DC blocker is connected between the output of the low-pass filter and ground by a termination resistor.
