    • An architecture, circuits, systems and a method for amplifying an analog signal. The architecture and/or circuit generally includes a first fixed stage (e.g., a predriver) and an adjustable stage. The first fixed stage may be configured to amplify an analog signal and provide a first amplified analog output at a first common node. The adjustable stage may comprise a plurality of independently selectable parallel amplifier segments. Each of the parallel segments may have an input at the first common node and an output at a second common node, a transistor having a control terminal, and a first inductor in electrical communication with the control terminal of the transistor. The adjustable stage may be configured to apply a bias to the control terminal of the transistor in a selected segment and to provide an output signal in one of a plurality of a power ranges corresponding to a number of selected parallel amplifier segments. The output signal generally has a minimum power efficiency when two or more of the parallel segments are selected. The present invention advantageously provides a relatively compact power amplifier with an extended output power range at which the amplifier is highly efficient. In preferred embodiments, the input and output matching characteristics are generally independent of the number of selected output amplifier segments.

    • A power amplifier stage has a first amplifier subsection and a second amplifier subsection coupled in a parallel configuration. The first amplifier subsection receives a signal to be amplified and the second amplifier subsection receives the signal to be amplified via a first delay line. The amplified output signal of the first amplifier subsection is passed through a second impedance inverter and is combined with the amplified output signal from the second amplifier subsection. In a low power mode, the first amplifier subsection operates as a linear amplifier and the second subsection is biased off. In a high power mode, both the first and second amplifier subsections operate as linear amplifiers. Selecting the impedances of the second delay element and the first amplifier to be equal is essential for high power mode operation and greatly improves the amplifier efficiency in the low power mode.
    • 功率放大器级具有以并联结构耦合的第一放大器子部分和第二放大器部分。 第一放大器部分接收要被放大的信号,并且第二放大器部分经由第一延迟线接收待放大的信号。 第一放大器子部分的放大的输出信号通过第二阻抗反相器并与来自第二放大器子部分的放大的输出信号组合。 在低功率模式下,第一放大器部分作为线性放大器工作,第二部分被偏置掉。 在高功率模式下,第一和第二放大器子部分都作为线性放大器工作。 选择第二延迟元件和第一放大器相等的阻抗对于高功率模式操作是必需的,并且极大地提高了低功率模式下的放大器效率。

    • There is provided not only a radio frequency power amplifier using an SiGe HBT subject to a little amplification distortion, but also a communication system using the same. A conventional radio frequency power amplifier provides base bias paths of transistors Q1 through QN (SiGe HBT) with bias resistors R11 through R1N having resistance values three to five times higher than those of a ballast resistor attached to each transistor's base. A coil LB is provided in parallel with the bias resistor as a means for compensating a voltage drop due to direct current component IDC flowing through the bias resistor. Addition of the bias resistor suppresses non-linearity of low-frequency variations in an output current. Addition of the coil compensates for voltage drop. Accordingly, the maximum linear output power can be improved. As a result, it is possible to provide the power amplifier subject to a little amplification distortion within a wide output range.

    • A first aspect of the invention is to realize a power amplifier having high power adding efficiency and high power gain at low cost. For that purpose, in a semiconductor device using an emitter top heterojunction bipolar transistor formed above a semiconductor substrate and having a planar shape in a ring-like shape, a structure is provided in which a base electrode is present only on an inner side of a ring-like emitter-base junction region. In this way, as a result of enabling to reduce base/collector junction capacitance per unit emitter area without using a collector top structure having complicated fabricating steps, a semiconductor device having high power adding efficiency and high-power gain and suitable for a power amplifier can be realized. A second aspect of the application is to provide a power amplifier enabling to reduce temperature dependency of power gain. For that purpose, in a multistage power amplifier including a first amplifier circuit 2 having one or more of bipolar transistors connected in parallel and arranged above a first semiconductor substrate and a second amplifier circuit 3 having one or more of bipolar transistors connected in parallel and arranged above a second semiconductor substrate, the bipolar transistor used in the first amplifier circuit 2 is provided with an emitter shape having a planar shape in a rectangular shape and the bipolar transistor used in the second amplifier circuit 3 is provided with an emitter shape in, for example, a ring-like shape and a base electrode thereof is present only on the inner side of the ring-like emitter.
