Abstract

The invention relates to a configurable radio-frequency power amplifier and a radio-frequency transmitting front-end module with the same. The configurable radio-frequency power amplifier comprises a configurable radio-frequency power amplifier tube core (201) and a configurable output impedance matching network (202); the output end of the configurable radio-frequency power amplifier tube core (201) is connected with the configurable output impedance matching network (202); the configurable output impedance matching network (202) is provided with a plurality of impedance circuits comprising inductors and capacitors; and the configurable output impedance matching network also comprises a radio-frequency switch which controls switch-on or switch-off of each impedance circuit. The configurable radio-frequency power amplifier reduces the number of independent units of a multi-power mode radio-frequency front end and integrates two chips in a single module so that the area, occupied by the multi-power mode radio-frequency transmitting front-end module, of a circuit board of a mobile terminal is reduced, and meanwhile, the manufacturing cost of the mobile terminal is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the radio frequency field of mobile terminals, in particular to a configurable radio frequency power amplifier and a radio frequency transmitting front-end module including the amplifier. Background technique [0002] In modern wireless communication systems, the radio frequency transmission front-end module is a key component to realize the wireless transmission of radio frequency signals. As the current wireless communication frequency band becomes more and more crowded, various modulation methods with high frequency band utilization, such as CDMA, WCDMA, and TD-SCDMA, are more and more widely used. These modulation methods all require that the radio frequency power amplifier in the radio frequency transmitting front end of the mobile terminal has high linearity to ensure high quality of voice call and data communication. However, the improvement of linearity is at the expense of the reduction of the average efficiency of th...
