Abstract:
A first branch group circuit includes a first branch circuit receiving a first RF input signal and first control information; and a second branch circuit receiving the first input signal and second control information. Each of the first and second branch circuits includes a power amplifier. The second control information enables the second branch circuit to be switched on or off while the first branch circuit remains on. A second branch group circuit includes: a third branch circuit receiving a second RF input signal and third control information; and a fourth branch circuit receiving the second input signal and fourth control information. Each of the third and fourth branch circuits includes a power amplifier. The fourth control information enables the fourth branch circuit to be switched on or off while the third branch circuit remains on. A combiner combines output signals of the power amplifiers to produce an output signal.

Claim (Index 12):
A multi-level, multi-branch outphasing amplifier, comprising:\n a first plurality of branch circuits coupled to receive a first input signal to be amplified, each branch circuit of the first plurality of branch circuits including a respective power amplifier; a second plurality of branch circuits coupled to receive a second input signal to be amplified, each branch circuit of the second plurality of branch including a respective power amplifier, the second input signal being phase-shifted with respect to the first input signal; a third plurality of branch circuits coupled to receive a third input signal to be amplified, each branch circuit of the third plurality of branch circuits including a respective power amplifier, the third input signal being 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the first input signal; a fourth plurality of branch circuits coupled to receive a fourth input signal to be amplified, each branch circuit of the fourth plurality of branch circuits including a respective power amplifier, the fourth input signal being 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the second input signal; a combiner circuit coupled to outputs of the power amplifiers of the first, second, third, and fourth pluralities of branch circuits and to generate an output signal for a load, wherein a number of branch circuits in which the respective activation circuits enable the corresponding first, second, third or fourth input signal is selected to be the same in, or different among, different ones of the first, second, third and fourth pluralities of branch circuits, depending on a power demand of the load or on a backoff load current.
