Parallel feedforward class-AB control circuits for low-voltage bipolar rail-to-rail output stages of operational amplifiers

A new family of class-AB control circuits for bipolar rail-to-rail output stages of operational amplifiers is presented. Step by step, we report the development of five simple class-AB control circuits showing the advantages of using parallel feedforward. The circuits have been designed in such a way that temperature, supply voltage and process parameters have little influence. To test the output stages, one of them has been implemented in a very simple two-stage operational amplifier on a semi-custom chip. Measurements show a bandwidth of 2.5 MHz, a gain of 40 dB, a quiescent current of 23µA and a maximum output current of 250µA. Simulation results of three other simple operational amplifiers with the new class-AB control circuits are shown, which have a higher gain and maximum output current.

Dynamic deviation reduction‐based concurrent dual‐band digital predistortion

This article introduces the concurrent dual‐band digital predistortion (DPD) architecture with only one upconvertion unit, which is suitable for the linearization of wideband power amplifiers (PAs) excited by concurrent dual‐band signals. By extending the conventional dynamic deviation reduction (DDR) model to the concurrent dual‐band mode, we propose two DDR‐based concurrent dual‐band models, the dual‐band DDR (DB‐DDR) model and the simplified dual‐band DDR (SDB‐DDR) model. The performance of these two models is experimentally assessed with two types of wideband PAs (a GaN Class F PA and a GaN Doherty PA) driven by the concurrent dual‐band signal, and compared with the prior two‐dimensional digital predistortion (2D‐DPD) model and the two‐dimensional modified memory polynomial (2D‐MMP) model. The results prove the good DPD performance and low computational complexity of the proposed models. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Int J RF and Microwave CAE 24:401–411, 2014.

双频带射频功放的数字预失真技术(DPD)要求支持更宽的带宽.为了保证功放输出的线性指标并降低预失真系统的实现开销,设计一种组合结构的双频带宽带数字预失真方法.该方法采用一维整频带数字预失真模型与四个一维分频带数字预失真模型的组合结构来综合处理双频带的发射信号.仿真实验结果表明,采用90 MHz的双频带LTE信号,临道泄露比(ACLR)指标较改进的二维记忆多项式DPD有1 dB提升,与二维DPD有0.5 dB差别,满足系统指标要求.

Adaptive predistortion using threshold decomposition‐based piecewise linear modeling

A new adaptive predistortion approach for nonlinear power amplifiers based on the piecewise linear (PWL) approximation of nonlinear functions is presented. The PWL model is obtained using threshold decomposition (TD) of the input‐output characteristics. The TD based PWL model is used to develop a baseband predistorter using both the direct and the indirect learning architectures. The proposed predistorter is proved to provide a better performance in suppressing nonlinear distortion than conventional polynomial predistorters and a reduced hardware complexity as compared to lookup table (LUT) approach. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Highly efficient switched‐mode transmitter using a current mode class‐D RF amplifier

This article presents a switched‐mode transmitter architecture using a current mode class‐D (CMCD) amplifier. To achieve high average efficiency for a modulated signal the envelope of the complex baseband signal is transformed into pulses such that the CMCD amplifier is operated either at its peak efficiency or completely switched off. The CMCD amplifier has been designed based on single‐tone active harmonic load‐pull measurements to achieve a power‐added efficiency (PAE) of 61.5% with 25 W output power at 900 MHz using LDMOS FETs. Removing the losses of the demodulation filter and of the amplifier a 10% higher efficiency than in an ideal class‐B amplifier can be obtained for burst‐mode operation with a peak‐to‐average power ratio of 10 dB. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
