US 2026/0269846 A1 · QUANTIZED AMPLIFICATION WITH REDUCED NUMBER OF PASSBAND MODULATORS

Abstract

Systems and methods of performing quantized amplification with a reduced set of bandpass modulators are provided. In one exemplary embodiment, a user equipment device includes a set of bandpass modulator circuitry operable to output a punctured set of bandpass components that collectively represents a sample of an input signal having information and a set of power amplifier circuitry electrically coupled to the set of bandpass modulator circuitry and operable to amplify the punctured set of bandpass components. Further, the punctured set of bandpass components corresponds to the set of power amplifier circuitry and is associated with a set of quantized bits that represents a quantized amplitude of a polar representation of the input signal sample.

Dependent claims

A method, comprising:

by a user equipment device having a set of bandpass modulator circuitry electrically coupled to a set of power amplifier circuitry,
outputting, by the set of bandpass modulator circuitry, a punctured set of bandpass components that collectively represents a sample of an input signal having information;
amplifying, by the set of power amplifier circuitry, the punctured set of bandpass components;
and
wherein the punctured set of bandpass components corresponds to the set of power amplifier circuitry and is associated with a set of quantized bits that represents a quantized amplitude of a polar representation of the input signal sample, with a number of the set of bandpass modulator circuitry being less than a number of the set of quantized bits that represents that quantized amplitude.
