Patent 11431297 was granted and assigned to Qorvo on August, 2022 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
An envelope tracking (ET) power amplifier apparatus with predistortion includes an amplifier circuit configured to amplify a radio frequency (RF) signal based on an ET voltage and a tracker circuit configured to generate the ET voltage based on an ET target voltage. The amplifier circuit may introduce phase and amplitude distortions to the signal being amplified. To offset such distortions, exemplary aspects of the present disclosure add an isogain predistortion circuit in an ET integrated circuit (IC) to correct for amplitude distortions and add a phase modulation predistortion circuit to correct for phase distortions.
