摘要： A method and apparatus for biasing an amplifying device whereby the bias current tracks the input power or the power level of a control signal to thereby efficiently match the bias current with needs of the amplifying device. This method and apparatus overcomes the drawbacks of the prior art by biasing, not for maximum output power, but for the power level of the input signal or the control signal. In one embodiment a current conditioner operates in connection with the self adjusting biasing circuit to scale or adjust, potentially on an exponential basis, the biasing current for one or more amplifier stages. A cancellation current source may be configured within the bias circuit to cancel unneeded current to further minimize current consumption.

摘要： According to an exemplary embodiment, an amplification module includes a power amplifier configured to receive an RF input signal and provide an RF output signal. The amplification module further includes an autobias control circuit configured to receive and convert the RF output signal to a control signal. The control signal can cause the power amplifier to have a quiescent current that increases substantially linearly in response to an increase in the RF output power of the RF output signal. The autobias control circuit can include a peak detector/log converter circuit coupled to a first input of a differential amplifier, where the differential amplifier outputs the control signal. The autobias control circuit can further include a DC reference circuit coupled to a second input of the differential amplifier. The amplification module further includes an analog bias circuit coupling the control voltage to a bias input of said power amplifier.
