Method and apparatus for improving efficiency and distortion leakage in a wireless power amplifier

A wireless communication system (400) for power amplification of an input signal includes a power amplifier (404) operable to amplify a data signal (405). An envelope generator 408 or detector is operable to determine an envelope signal (410) from the data signal. A tracking power supply or other po...

Zusammenfassung:	A wireless communication system (400) for power amplification of an input signal includes a power amplifier (404) operable to amplify a data signal (405). An envelope generator 408 or detector is operable to determine an envelope signal (410) from the data signal. A tracking power supply or other power supply control circuit (409) is operable to control a supply voltage of the power amplifier with the envelope signal. An allocation manager (441) is operable to determine a resource block allocation within a channel for the data signal. A delay circuit (443) is operable to insert a delay (550) between the envelope signal and the data signal as a function of the resource block allocation within the channel, thereby intentionally causing unbalanced leakage about the resource block allocation. Increased leakage on one side of the allocation results in improved leakage on the other side.
