METHOD AND APPAARATUS FOR IMPROVING POWER AMPLIFIER EFFICIENCY IN WIRELESS COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS HAVING HIGH PEAK TO AVERAGE

Application 358/DEL/2005 published 2006-11-10, filed 2005-02-18
A power management system and method for a wireless communication device generates an average desired transmit power signal based on at least one of a received signal strength indicator signal and a power control instruction signal from a base station. A power supply level adjustment signal is generated based on the data parmeters of an outgoing data stream and at least one envirommental information signal. A combination of the power supply level adjustment signal and the average desired transmit power or a gain control signal and an altered version of the power supply level adjustment signal is used to generate a variable power supply signal that is provided to an output amplifier block for sufficiently generating outgoing wireless device radio signals while reducing power loss in the output amplifier block.
