@conference{10902/3219, year = {2012}, month = {9}, url = {http://hdl.handle.net/10902/3219}, abstract = {This paper presents an Envelope Tracking Power Amplifier whose architecture includes a Hybrid Envelope Amplifier (HEA) and an algorithm to adapt the envelope´s characteristics to the HEA´s limitations. The HEA attempts to combine the high efficiency of a switched amplifier with the wide band capabilities of a linear amplifier. A modified Slew Rate (SR) reduction algorithm cope with the bandwidth and SR limitations of the HEA. On the other hand, the non-linearities introduced by this Envelope Amplifier (EA) and by the dynamic supply are compensated using Digital Pre-Distortion. Results show that these non-linearities are compensable and that the architecture offers higher efficiency figures compared to the conventional linear EA.}, publisher = {URSI 2012, XXVII Simposium Nacional de la Unión Científica Internacional de Radio, Elche}, title = {Envelope tracking amplification with reduced slew-rate and bandwidth envelopes}, author = {Vizarreta Paz, Pedro Pablo and Montoro López, Gabriel and Gilabert Pinal, Pere Lluís and Bertran Albertí, Eduard and Berenguer i Sau, Jordi and Gelonch Bosch, Antoni and García García, José Ángel}, }
