Abstract
Systems and methods for maintaining power amplifier performance are provided. A system includes a bias supply that generates a bias voltage, and at least one primary power amplifier (PA) that receives the bias voltage and a primary radio frequency (RF) input. The at least one primary PA amplifies the primary RF input based on the bias voltage. The system includes an auxiliary PA that is connected in parallel with the at least one primary PA and receives the bias voltage and an auxiliary RF input, which is a scaled version of the primary RF input. The auxiliary PA amplifies the auxiliary RF input based on the bias voltage. The system includes a detector that measures an output voltage associated with the amplified auxiliary RF input, and a comparator that compares the measured output voltage to a reference voltage. The bias supply adjusts the bias voltage based on the comparison.
