Apparatus for Radio-Frequency Amplifier with Improved Performance and Associated Methods

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a radio-frequency (RF) circuit, which includes a power amplifier coupled to receive an RF input signal and to provide an RF output signal in response to a modified bias signal. The RF circuit further includes a bias path circuit coupled to modify a bias signal as a function of a characteristic of an input signal to generate the modified bias signal. The bias path circuit provides the modified bias signal to the power amplifier.
