Abstract:
Circuits and methods for reducing the cost and/or power consumption of a user terminal and/or the gateway of a telecommunications system ( 550 ) that may include a telecommunications satellite. Embodiments generate a dynamic input bias signal based upon an information signal envelope (which may be pre-distorted) which is applied to the signal input of a power amplifier (PA), thus reducing average power consumption. Other embodiments further include dynamic linearization ( 518 ) of the information signal, and/or variation of the supply voltage to the power amplifier (PA) as a function of the envelope of the information signal. Another aspect is a multi-stage “chained” feedback regulated voltage supply circuit for providing two or more output voltages that may be used as alternative supply voltages to a power amplifier (PA).

Claim (Index 13):
The invention of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n (a) a digital comparator, coupled to the envelope computation block, for determining the occurrence of peaks in the envelope of the information signal that exceed at least one selected threshold; and (b) a switch module, coupled to the digital comparator and to the power terminal of the power amplifier, and configured to be coupled to at least two voltage sources having different voltage potentials, for outputting a first selected voltage potential to the power terminal of the power amplifier in response to the determined occurrence of peaks in the envelope of the information signal that exceed the at least one selected threshold, and otherwise outputting a second selected voltage potential to the power terminal of the power amplifier.
