Abstract

See full text

A radio frequency (RF) amplification circuit and a closed-loop amplitude linearization circuit are disclosed. The RF amplification circuit amplifies an RF signal to generate an amplified RF signal. The RF amplification circuit and the closed-loop amplitude linearization circuit form a fast control loop and a slow control loop. The slow control loop estimates a total radiated power (TRP) from the RF amplification circuit to create a TRP estimate using a representation of the amplified RF signal, and controls a fast loop gain of the fast control loop based on the TRP estimate. The fast control loop applies a gain adjustment to the RF amplification circuit based on the fast loop gain and a difference between a target reference amplitude and a measured feedback amplitude. The gain adjustment controls amplitude distortion in the RF amplification circuit. The fast loop gain controls TRP-drift in the RF amplification circuit.
