Improved power amplifier matching in a dual band mobile phone

摘要

To achieve an improved matching of a power amplifier to transmission line impedances of different transmission branches in a dual band mobile phone there is proposed a new power amplifier output circuit for such a dual band mobile phone. This power amplifier output circuit comprises a transmission branch change over unit being connected to an output terminal of the power amplifier. Further, there is provided a second impedance matching means in at least one transmission branch and the transmission branch change over unit comprises at least two switching elements between the first impedance matching unit and the second impedance matching unit. Therefore, the disturbing influence of parasitic elements in the switching elements may be reduced significantly.
