US Patent 11677355 Outphasing power combiner

A circuit includes a transformer having a primary coil coupled to a first power amplifier (PA) and a second PA, and a secondary coil. The secondary coil supplies a current to an antenna based on a first direction of a first phase of a first amplified constant-envelope signal in the primary coil with respect to a second phase of a second amplified constant-envelope signal in the primary coil. The circuit further includes load impedance coupled between a median point of the primary coil and ground. The load impedance is adjusted to match one of an impedance of the differential antenna, an impedance of the first PA, and an impedance of the second PA, based on the ripples detected by the ripple detector.
