International Classification:

H03F 3/24
H03F 3/60
H03F 3/195

Abstract:

Systems and apparatuses are disclosed that include an RF generator configured to generate RF signals having a wavelength. Amplifiers are configured to receive and amplify the RF signals from the RF generator and are separated from each other by a separation distance in a range between about 0.2 times the wavelength and about 10.0 times the wavelength. A power management system is configured to control one or more of the amplifiers based on information received that is associated with the RF signals.

International Classification:

H03F 3/21
H03K 19/173
H03L 7/08

Abstract:

Systems and apparatuses are disclosed that include a modular power amplifier having a power amplifier subsystem with a first 90 degree hybrid block configured to receive an RF signal and output a split RF signal with components having a 90 degree phase shift, a second 90 degree hybrid block configured to receive and combine the split RF signal by removing the 90 degree phase shift, a high-power amplifier configured to amplify at least one of the components of the split RF signal. The modular power amplifier also includes a power distribution module configured to regulate an amount of power input to the high-power amplifier and a power sequencer configured to control the timing of power delivery by the power distribution module. Three-dimensional power amplifiers having a first high-power amplifier and a second high-power amplifier having different orientations causing a reduction in electromagnetic interference are also disclosed.
