A power amplifier controller controls a power amplifier and is coupled to a polar modulator. The polar modulator generates an amplitude component and a phase-modulated component of the desired RF modulated signal, and outputs to the power amplifier controller. The power amplifier controller regenerates a combined phase and amplitude modulated RF signal to generate an input signal to a power amplifier by adjusting the gain of a VGA based on the amplitude component of the desired RF modulated signal. Concurrently, the power amplifier controller both controls an adjusted supply voltage to the PA and adjusts the gain of the VGA based upon an amplitude correction signal or amplitude error signal.

An RF power amplifier system comprises an amplitude control loop and a phase control loop. The amplitude control loop adjusts the supply voltage to the power amplifier based upon the amplitude correction signal indicating the amplitude difference between the amplitude of the input signal and an attenuated amplitude of the output signal. The phase control loop adjusts the phase of the input signal based upon a phase error signal indicating a phase difference between phases of the input signal and the output signal. The phase control loop may comprise one or more variable phase delays introducing a relative phase delay to allow the phase differences between the input and output signals of the PA circuit to be within a range compatible with a phase comparator generating the phase error signal, and a low frequency blocking module that removes the larger extent, lower frequency components of the phase error signal.

A radio frequency (RF) power amplifier system adjusts the supply voltage provided to a power amplifier (PA) adaptively, responsive to the measured or estimated power of the RF output signal of the PA. The RF PA system includes a power amplifier (PA) which receives and amplifies an RF input signal to generate an RF output signal at a level suitable for transmission to an antenna. A PA supply voltage controller generates a supply voltage control signal, which is used to control the supply voltage to the final stage of the PA. The supply voltage control signal is generated responsive to the measured or estimated power of the PA RF output signal, and also may be responsive to a parameter indicative of impedance mismatch experienced at the PA output. By controlling this supply voltage to the RF PA, the efficiency of the PA is improved.

A temperature compensation system for compensating a collector-voltage controlled RF amplifier. To overcome variation that occurs with temperature which can result in signal degradation of the adjacent channel spectrum, a temperature compensated current is utilized to create an offset signal. The offset signal is processed in connection with a control or data signal to generate a temperature compensated voltage source control signal. A differential amplifier may process the data or control signal and the offset signal. The compensated voltage control signal tracks temperature to adapt the applied collector voltage to temperature. This in turn forces the applied collector voltage to vary in response to temperature changes thereby maintaining a constant output power or RF swing. One example environment of use is in an EDGE type GSM system.

Video equipment, e.g. for TV producers studios, need to display multiple channels of bit-streams simultaneously. Decoding multiple streams of high bit-rate videos is extremely computational intensive. An improved method for browsing an encoded frequency domain video sequence comprises steps of determining a spatial and / or temporal reduction level for browsing a video sequence, determining according to the determined reduction level frames, fields or parts of blocks or macroblocks to be skipped for decoding, and decoding the remaining data to a video with lower spatial and / or temporal resolution. The reduction may include adaptive partial coefficient decoding, motion vector truncation and / or simplified deblocking filtering. The reduction of spatial resolution is advantageously performed in the frequency domain, so that the inverse quantization process and the iDCT processes require less computing.
