Current sense automatic level control system with pre-bias

摘要

A system for removing noise in a power amplifier is disclosed. The system includes a pre-bias signal generator that is operative to generate a pre-bias signal and an injection mechanism that is operative to introduce the pre-bias signal into a control signal of the power amplifier. The pre-bias signal generator and the injection mechanism may be part of a current sense automatic level control loop for the power amplifier. In this respect, the control signal may be generated in response to the current flowing through the power amplifier. The pre-bias signal may be a DC offset voltage which is operative to place the power amplifier near a conducting threshold thereof in order to reduce sideband splatter.
