Abstract:
Hybrid power amplifier circuits, modules, or systems, and methods of operating same, are disclosed herein. In one example embodiment, a hybrid power amplifier circuit includes a preliminary stage amplification device, a final stage amplification device, and intermediate circuitry at least indirectly coupling the preliminary stage amplification device and the final stage amplification device. The intermediate circuitry includes a low-pass circuit and a high-pass circuit, and the hybrid power amplifier circuit is configured to amplify a first signal component at a fundamental frequency. Due at least in part to the intermediate circuitry, a phase of a second signal component at a harmonic frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency is shifted.

Claim (Index 16):
A hybrid power amplifier module configured to amplify a first signal component at a fundamental frequency, the hybrid power amplifier module comprising:\n a substrate; a first die supported at least indirectly upon the substrate and upon which is formed, at least in part, a preliminary stage amplification circuit that includes a first transistor that is a silicon-based transistor device; a second die supported at least indirectly upon the substrate and upon which is formed, at least in part, a final stage amplification circuit that includes a second transistor that is a III-V transistor device made from a semiconductor material selected from gallium nitride, gallium arsenide, gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, and indium antimonide; and intermediate circuitry supported at least indirectly upon the substrate, the intermediate circuitry coupling the preliminary stage amplification device and the final stage amplification device, wherein the intermediate circuitry includes a low-pass circuit and a high-pass circuit, the intermediate circuitry provides a harmonic termination of a second signal component at a harmonic frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency, and the intermediate circuitry does not implement an impedance transformation of the first signal component at the fundamental frequency; and input pre-matching circuitry supported at least indirectly upon the substrate, the input pre-matching circuitry coupling the intermediate circuitry and the final stage amplification device, wherein the input pre-matching circuitry implements the impedance transformation of the first signal component at the fundamental frequency.
