Title: Amplifier with power dissipation reduction using single radio frequency digital-to-analog converter
Inventor: MARCEL F SCHEMMANN
IPC: H03F3/68
Filed: 2017-12-18
Abstract: The disclosed system and method provide for a CATV power amplifier (560) in which power dissipation may be reduced by dynamically adjusting the amplifier bias such that the bias is high only when high peak output signals need to be produced. By combining a bias control signal and an RF data signal into a single signal produced by a single DA converter (540), the disclosed examples require fewer DA converters and a need to synchronize DA converters to produce each of the signals individually is eliminated. A low frequency signal may be added to the RF band to find an optimum compromise between positive and negative peak excursions produced by the amplifier such that an overall reduction in bias may be achieved.
