A two stage power amplifier circuit that employs both a DC to DC converter and sliding bias controller to improve power amplifier efficiency. The control signal that is generated by the power detector circuit to control the input voltage to the DC to DC converter is also used to provide the reference voltage that controls the sliding bias controller. The sliding bias controller reduces the quiescent current of the power amplifiers by reducing the bias currents, and thus the DC voltage at lower power output levels driving the power amplifiers. This causes the power amplifiers to operate at or near higher efficiency Class B operation at lower power output levels. As the power level increases, the sliding bias controller reduces its control on the bias currents so that the power amplifier can be driven at necessary higher power output levels.

DC power savings in a mobile communication device can be achieved by dynamically adjusting the biasing for a receiver based on the communication link quality. The output signal levels of at least one low noise amplifier (LNA) are monitored to identify the DC operating conditions for the LNA. Closed loop control of the DC biasing is adjusted based on a comparison between the monitored DC operating conditions and a reference signal. The output of the LNA is also coupled to a radio receiver section that is configured (e.g., SW or HW) to evaluate the link quality based on various criteria such as inter-modulation distortion, noise, interference, fading, etc. The reference signal that is used to control the DC biasing of the LNA is adjusted (periodically, continuously, or on demand) in response to the evaluated link quality. The dynamic biasing yields acceptable signal reception with low DC power consumption.
