Amplifiers for radio-frequency applications

Abstract:

Amplifiers for radio-frequency applications. In some embodiments, a power amplifier die can include a semiconductor substrate and a plurality of narrow band power amplifiers implemented on the semiconductor substrate. Each narrow band power amplifier can be configured to operate with a high voltage in an average power tracking mode and be capable of being coupled to an output filter associated with a respective individual frequency band. Each narrow band power amplifier can be sized smaller than a wide band power amplifier configured to operate with more than one of the frequency bands associated with the plurality of narrow band power amplifiers.
