| Zusammenfassung: | Apparatus and methods for biasing power amplifiers are provided herein. In certain embodiments, a power amplifier includes a bipolar transistor having a base biased by a bias network having a reactance that controls an impedance at the transistor base to achieve substantially flat phase response over large dynamic power levels. For example, the bias network can have a frequency response, such as a high-pass or band-pass response, that reduces the impact of power level on phase distortion (AM/PM). |
