Abstract:
Methods and systems for optimizing amplifier operations are described. The described methods and systems particularly describe a feed-forward control circuit that may also be used as a feed-back control circuit in certain applications. The feed-forward control circuit provides a control signal that may be used to configure an amplifier in a variety of ways.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for optimizing amplifier operations, including:\n (a) a scalable periphery amplifier configured to receive a radio frequency input signal, the scalable periphery amplifier including a plurality of selectable unit cells for providing an adjustable amount of gain to the input signal by applying the input signal to a selection of one or more of the plurality of selectable unit cells; and (b) a feed-forward control circuit, coupled to the scalable periphery amplifier and to the input signal, configured to receive the input signal and generate a control signal that is derived from at least one characteristic of the input signal and which is provided to the scalable periphery amplifier for adjusting the amount of gain of the scalable periphery amplifier.
