Abstract

An amplitude-only closed-loop EDGE transmitter using a PA with low AM-PM distortion is presented with a comparable size to existing open loop EDGE PA modules and added closed loop current <20mA. The complete PA/controller consumes 700mA at 28dBm and <80mA at 6dBm. RMS EVM is <2.1%, ACPR margins are >5dB, and RX band noise is <-81dBm/100KHz at 20MHz offset. Reflected power amplitude feedback allows the transmitter to meet ORFS/EVM specifications under antenna VSWR as high as 6:1
