ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a transmitter circuit (14) for use in radio telephone (10), the transmitter circuit including a power amplifier (17D) having an output coupled to an antenna (12) for transmitting an amplified modulated RF signal; a variable gain driver amplifier (17C) having an output coupled to an input of the power amplifier and an input coupled to an output of a modulator (14A), the variable gain driver amplifier being required to output the modulated RF signal within a predetermined dynamic power range having a maximum value; and at least one programmable gain amplifier (PGA1, PGA2) coupled in series between the output of the modulator and the input of the variable gain driver amplifier. The at least one programmable gain amplifier has a dynamic range selected for reducing the dynamic range requirement of the variable gain driver amplifier to be less than the predetermined dynamic power range. For example, the maximum predetermined dynamic range value is in excess of 60 dB, and a maximum dynamic range value of the variable gain driver amplifier is less than 50 dB (e.g., 40 dB to 44 dB).
