ABSTRACT:
A power amplifier circuit for a radio transceiver has a linear mode amplifier and a saturated (nonlinear) mode amplifier, a diplex matching circuit coupled to the linear mode amplifier for impedance matching and for separating transmitted signals in a plurality of frequency bands, a low pass matching circuit coupled to the output of the saturated mode amplifier and means for selectably placing the power amplifier circuit in a linear mode for or a saturated mode, corresponding to digital and analog modes of operation of the cellular telephone, respectively. In linear or digital mode, the linear amplifier is biased in the on state and the saturated mode amplifier may be biased in the off state. Similarly, in the saturated or analog mode of operation, the saturated mode amplifier is biased in the on state and the linear amplifier may be biased in the off state. The amplifier circuit may include a switch or circuit, coupled to an output of the diplex matching circuit and the output of the low pass matching circuit, for selectably coupling the first diplex matching circuit output or the low pass matching circuit output to an output line when the amplifier circuit is selectably placed in linear mode or saturated mode, respectively.
