Discussion on the development trend of mobile phone power amplifier Discussion on the development trend of mobile phone power amplifier GSM850/E-GSM900/DCS1800/PCS1900 four-band GSM/GPRS mobile phones are the mainstream of mobile communications. The hardware structure of a general traditional TDMA mobile phone is shown in Figure 1. This article will discuss in detail the power amplifier (PA), one of the many key components in a mobile phone. [pic] Click to see the original image Figure 1 Block diagram of the hardware structure of a TDMA mobile phone PA characteristic requirements: GSM/GPRS four-band mobile phones transmit signals based on the communication standards of ETSI/3GPP, so the characteristics of the power amplifier must meet the following requirements. Generally speaking, the PA output power level in the GSM850MHz/900MHz frequency band is divided into 15 power levels, such as 5 (33dBm) ~ 19 (5dBm), and in the DCS1800MHz/PCS1900MHz frequency band, there are 16 power levels, such as 0 (30dBm) ~ 15 (0dBm). As the distance between the mobile phone and the adjacent base station and the quality of the mobile phone\'s reception, the PA output power level must be relatively adjusted and accurately set according to the instructions of the base station. There is not only a single output power. Because the GSM/GPRS communication system is a TDMA system (Time-Division-multiple-Access), the transmission (up-link) and reception (down-link) of signals do not occur at the same time. The PA is mainly responsible for transmitting mobile phone signals to the base station. Its PA power operation response time must comply with the specifications of the ETSI/3GPP communication standards. As shown in Figure 2, there are three time zones: (a) 28us (b) 542.8us (c) 28us. In zone (a), when the mobile phone wants to transmit a signal to the base station, the PA must prepare for power-ramping-up within 28us to keep the PA output power stable and fixed...
