Frequency dependent envelope tracking

Abstract:

An envelope tracking system includes an instantaneous amplitude circuitry, an instantaneous frequency circuitry, and a two-dimensional (2D) bias voltage selection circuitry. The instantaneous amplitude circuitry is configured to determine an instantaneous amplitude of a transmit signal. The instantaneous frequency circuitry is configured to determine an instantaneous frequency of the transmit signal. The two-dimensional (2D) bias voltage selection circuitry is configured to determine a bias voltage based on both the instantaneous amplitude and the instantaneous frequency of the transmit signal, and control power supply circuitry to supply the determined bias voltage to a power amplifier that is configured to amplify the transmit signal.
