Embodiment Construction

[0032] This disclosure is applicable to broadband bias circuits. In the following description, for purposes of explanation, several examples and specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present disclosure. However, it should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present disclosure as expressed in the claims may include some or all of the features of these examples alone, or in combination with other features described below, and may further include Modifications and equivalents of features and concepts.

[0033]Some embodiments of the present disclosure may be applicable to envelope tracking applications. In envelope tracking applications, the supply voltage Vdd can be varied with time to reduce the power consumption of the circuit. The time-varying power supply voltage can correspond to the input signal, so that the input signal can be processed using less power. One exemplary system that uses envelope tracking (ET) is a...

Abstract

The present disclosure includes circuits and methods for wideband biasing. In one embodiment, an amplifier includes a cascode transistor (311) between an input and an output of the amplifier. The cascode transistor (311) receives a bias from a bias circuit comprising a resistor (301) between the power supply (VDD ET) and a first node, a resistor (302) between the first node and a reference voltage, and a capacitor (303) between the power supply (VDD ET) and the first node. The power supply (VDD ET) may be a modulated power supply, which is coupled through the bias circuit to a capacitance (303) at the control terminal of the cascode transistor (311). An inductor (310) is configured between a terminal of the cascode transistor (311) and the power supply (VDD ET). The inductor (310) may isolate the output from the modulated supply signal (VDD ET).
