Patent ID: 7755429

Claim:
A system for dynamic adjustment of drain or collector voltage of a power amplifier, the system comprising: a power amplifier having a drain or collector voltage input; a temperature sensor configured to measure ambient temperature of the power amplifier; an adaptive power amplifier control processor configured to dynamically change a drain or collector voltage applied to the input of the power amplifier as a function of ambient temperature of the power amplifier measured by the temperature sensor to achieve a desired peak power when the system is subjected to higher than normal ambient temperature; and a power amplifier amplitude to amplitude (AA) monitor configured to digitally analyze a transmit amplitude of the power amplifier to a receive amplitude of the power amplifier to determine output signal compression of the power amplifier, wherein the adaptive power amplifier control processor is configured to dynamically change the drain or collector voltage applied to the input of the power amplifier as a function of the determined output signal compression.
