Abstract

See full text

Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a bias circuit that uses Schottky diodes. Typically, a bias circuit will include a number of transistors used to generate a bias voltage or a bias current for a power amplifier. Many wireless devices include power amplifiers to facilitate processing signals for transmission and/or received signals. By substituting the bias circuit design with a design that utilizes Schottky diodes, the required battery voltage of the bias circuit may be reduced enabling the use of lower voltage power supplies.
