Apparatus and methods for providing a power amplifier with interference cancellation

Abstract

Methods and apparatus are provided for amplifying an input signal. An electronic circuit system comprises a first circuit comprising a power amplifier, configured to receive a first branch of an input signal, and generate a first amplified signal based on the input signal of the first branch; a second circuit, configured to receive a second branch of the input signal, generate a cancellation signal based on the input signal of the second branch, and combine the first amplified signal and the cancellation signal to generate a second amplified signal. The second circuit comprises an interference re-construction module, which is configured to model an inverse characteristic of residual distortion and interference of the first circuit via a predefined re-construction function, and generate an anti-phased interference signal based on the input signal of the second branch and the predefined re-construction function. The cancellation signal is generated from the anti-phased interference signal.
