ABSTRACT:
According to an exemplary embodiment, a multimode power amplifier configured to receive an RF input signal and provide an RF output signal in linear and saturated operating modes includes an output stage configured to receive a fixed supply voltage and to provide the RF output signal. The multimode power amplifier further includes at least one driver stage coupled to the output stage, where the at least one driver stage is configured to receive the RF input signal and an adjustable supply voltage. The adjustable supply voltage controls an RF output power of the RF output signal when the multimode power amplifier is in the saturated operating mode. The at least one driver and the output stage are each biased by a low impedance voltage in the linear and saturated operating modes. The adjustable supply voltage can be controlled by a fixed control voltage in the linear operating mode.
