  • the power amplifier 3 is controlled using a first control loop 21, comprising a differential amplifier 7a, having a feedback loop including a capacitor 8a, and a sample and hold circuit comprising a capacitor 9 and differential amplifier 10.
  • the first control loop 21 controls the output power of the power amplifier 3 by altering an input signal fed to the power amplifier 3, by adjusting the gain of a variable gain amplifier 11 preceding the power amplifier 3.
  • the power amplifier 3 and the variable gain amplifier 11 cooperate to constitute together a power amplifier.
  • a switch 12 between the amplifier 7a and the amplifier 10 is closed during the 5 beginning and end of a time slot used for linear transmission, to allow the output power of the power amplifier to be ramped up or down under the control of an input ramp signal TXC.
  • the switch 12 is open, thereby disconnecting the differential amplifier 7a and its feedback loop.
  • the variable gain amplifier 11 is O then controlled by an output of the sample and hold circuit 9, 10, which applies a constant control voltage to the variable gain amplifier.

  • the output power of the power amplifier 3 is ramped up or down O under the control of the input ramp signal TXC.
  • the second control loop remains closed during the beginning, the intervening portion and end of the time slot.

  • the amplifier will be operable in a linear mode when the first modulation scheme has a significant amplitude modulation content, as is found for example with the modulation used with EDGE transmissions.
  • a non-linear mode which is more efficient, typically is used where the second modulation scheme has a generally constant amplitude, for example the modulation used with GMSK.
  • the transmitter includes a sample and hold circuit operable to maintain the gain of the power amplifier at a generally constant value between ramp up and ramp down portions of a time slot when operating in a linear mode.
  • This sample and hold circuit is a particularly effective way to prevent output power changing over a tune slot.
  • the power amplifier comprises first and second amplifier stages, an output of one amplifier stage being coupled to an input of the other stage, in which in the non-linear mode the first amplifier stage is controlled to have a fixed gain and the second amplifier stage is controlled to have a gain dependent on a second amplifier stage control signal generated by a first control loop, and in which in the linear mode the second amplifier stage is controlled to have a fixed gain and the first amplifier stage is controlled to have a gain dependent on a first amplifier stage control signal generated by a second control loop Hete, if the second control loop includes a sample and hold circuit operable to maintain the first amplifier stage control signal at a generally constant value between ramp up and ramp down portions of a time slot, this can be used to advantage both when transmitting data modulated with the first modulating scheme and when transmitting data in a time slot vsrhen power variation might be expected if the amplifier were operated in a non-linear mode.

  • the power controller 4 is arranged to use the second control loop 22 for the transmission of GMSK modulated signals at a high, power, operating the power amplifier 3 in a non- linear mode for efficiency reasons.
  • the first control loop 21 is used for the transmission of EDGE modulated signals and also for GMSK modulated signals in certain circumstances.
  • the switch 12 When the first control loop 21 is used, the switch 12 is open during the central portion of a time slot during which, data is transmitted as described above, and the power amplifier 3 is controlled using the sample and hold circuit 9, 10. As the power detector 14 is disconnected from the variable gain amplifier 11 by the sample and hold circuit 9, 10, its output has no effect on the control signal applied to the variable gain amplifier 11. Therefore, any change in the temperature of the power detector 14 does not affect the control and, therefore, the output power of the power amplifier 3.
  • the controller 20 determines whether to operate the power amplifier 3 in a linear or non-linear mode. Normally, the non-linear mode will be selected by the controller 20. When the output power, though, is low and the output power in. an immediately preceding time slot was high, the controller 20 controls the power controller 4 to use the first control loop 21 and controls the power amplifier 3 to operate in linear mode.
  • the efficiency of the power amplifier 3 when operated in linear mode, using the first control loop 21, is lower than when operated in non-linear mode, using the second control loop 22.

  • the power controller 4 may determine whether the output power to be provided during a time slot is "low" using a predetermined power threshold.
  • the threshold may be defined in terms of a power level, or alternatively as a predetermined fraction of the maximum output power that can be provided by the power amplifier 3.
  • the linear mode is used for GMSK time slots only when beneficial. ⁇ Since there is only significant cooling of the power detector 14 over the duration of a time slot when tlxe output power in the time slot is low and the output power in the preceding timeslot is high, the linear mode preferably is used only in such circumstances. The exact scheme for determining whether the power is high or low may be implementation dependent. In particular, the extent of heating and cooling of the power detectot 14 may depend on certain component choices. It is preferred that the linear mode is used for GMSK time slots only when the power is significantly lower than in the immediately preceding time slot. This may be determined by comparing the ratios of the output power between the time slots to a predetermined threshold, or in any other suitable way.

Abstract

Un émetteur (2) comprend un amplificateur de puissance (3) et un régulateur de puissance (4). L'amplificateur de puissance (3) peut fonctionner à la fois en modes linéaire et non linéaire, lequel amplificateur est commandé par une unité de commande (20) ainsi que par des première et seconde boucles de commande (21, 22). La seconde boucle de commande (22) est utilisée pour l'émission de signaux modulés GMSK, sans modulation d'amplitude, faisant fonctionner l'amplificateur de puissance (3) en mode non linéaire. La première boucle de commande (21) est utilisée pour l'émission de signaux modulés EDGE, à quantité importante de modulation d'amplitude, faisant fonctionner l'amplificateur de puissance (3) en mode linéaire. Cette première boucle de commande (21) est également utilisée avec des intervalles de temps GMSK, si la puissance de sortie devant être produite par l'amplificateur de puissance (3) est basse et si la puissance d'un intervalle de temps immédiatement précédent est élevée. Dans ce cas, un circuit échantillonneur bloqueur (9, 10) de cette première boucle de commande (21) est utilisé si la tension de détecteur de puissance dans l'amplificateur de puissance pourrait varier dans l'intervalle de temps par un refroidissement, évitant la possibilité d'une variation du niveau de puissance dans l'intervalle de temps.
