Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 19:
20. A system for improving amplifier operations, including:
(a) an amplifier configured to receive an input signal and a control signal, and generate an output signal in response to the input signal and the control signal, the output signal having a desired characteristic that includes at least one of a power level, amplifier gain, a voltage range, or a current level, wherein the control signal modifies an operating characteristic of the amplifier;
(b) a control circuit configured to output a control data signal;
(c) a measurement circuit including at least one detector or analyzer configured to measure a selected characteristic of at least one data or monitored signal input and to output at least one derived data signal as a function of the measurement; and
(d) a feed-forward control circuit including a look-up table, the feed-forward control circuit coupled to the amplifier, the control circuit, and the measurement circuit, the feed-forward control circuit configured to receive the input signal, analyze the input signal using an input signal monitoring circuit, apply (a) the analyzed input signal and (b) the at least one of the control data signal and the at least one derived data signal to the look-up table to generate the control signal, and provide the control signal to the amplifier for impressing the desired characteristic upon the output signal.
