A radio frequency (RF) linear power amplifier having an output transistor,
and including a circuit means for generating a bias signal producing a
quiescent current flowing through the output transistor, a detector
circuit for detecting RF input to the amplifier and generating a driving
signal according to a power level of the RF input; and a self-adaptable
circuit for receiving the driving signal and automatically modifying the
bias signal and the quiescent current through the output transistor. The
quiescent current at the output stage is reduced and optimized for
minimum dissipation and optimal linearity at all power output levels. The
bias circuit for the radio frequency (RF) linear power amplifier includes
a self-adaptable circuit that dynamically modifies the quiescent current
for an output stage amplifier by automatically tracking an RF signal
input to the amplifier at power ranges above a certain power output
threshold.
