20130112467 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS FROM AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - The disclosure relates to a printed circuit board (PCB) for an electronic circuit for a power amplifier of a wireless communication device. The PCB comprises: a substrate; a ground reference in the substrate; first through fourth locations and first and second pads in the substrate; and first and second electrical tracks in the substrate. The locations are for components for the PCB, including a 0 ohm component, and pads connect tracks to the components. The first pad is for a high band power input terminal of the amplifier. The first track connects the first pad to the second location. The third location is in the first track for placement of a first capacitor in a circuit between the first pad and ground. The second pad is for an output terminal of the amplifier. The second track connects the second pad to an output stage circuit of the amplifier. | 05-09-2013 |
20130243048 | COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE WITH SEPARATE I AND Q PHASE POWER AMPLIFICATION HAVING SELECTIVE PHASE AND MAGNITUDE ADJUSTMENT AND RELATED METHODS - A communications device may include an In-phase (I) circuit having an In-phase modulator and mixer circuit, and an I power amplifier circuit coupled thereto, the I circuit configured to modulate and amplify a digital baseband I signal to generate an amplified I signal, and a Quadrature (Q) circuit having a Q modulator and mixer circuit, and a Q power amplifier circuit coupled thereto, the Q circuit configured to modulate and amplify a digital baseband Q signal to generate an amplified Q signal separate from the amplified I signal. A processor selectively switches the digital baseband I signal and the digital baseband Q signal between the I and Q signal inputs to provide selective phase shifting for the digital baseband I and Q signals. | 09-19-2013 |
20130257528 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING RADIO FREQUENCY TRANSMISSIONS FROM AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE - The disclosure relates to an electronic circuit for reducing leakage of radio frequency signals from a power amplifier of a wireless communication device is provided.

20130315345 | MOBILE WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS DEVICE WITH SEPARATE IN-PHASE (I) AND QUADRATURE (Q) PHASE POWER AMPLIFICATION AND POWER AMPLIFIER PRE-DISTORTION AND IQ BALANCE COMPENSATION - A communications device, in one aspect as a portable wireless communications device, includes an in-phase modulator and power amplifier that receives a baseband I signal and modulates and amplifies the I signal. A quadrature modulator and power amplifier receives a baseband Q signal and modulates and amplifies the Q signal. A power combiner sums and outputs the I and Q signals. An I demodulator circuit receives a signal fed back from the I power amplifier and demodulates the fed back signal to produce demodulated I signals. A Q demodulator circuit receives a signal fed back from the Q power amplifier and demodulates the fed back signal to produce demodulated Q signals. A processor compares the digital, baseband I and Q signals with a demodulated I and Q signals to compensate for amplitude, frequency and phase modulation errors. | 11-28-2013 |
