Bias Ramp-up
The steady-state final-stage bias level is supplied by an 8-bit DAC
programmed prior to ramp-up but held to zero by a switch on the DAC
output under the control of a
TX INHIBIT signal. Bias ramp-up begins upon
release by the
TX INHIBIT signal with the ramping shape being determined by
a low-pass filter. Owing to power leakage through the PA chain, ramping
the bias takes the PA output power from less than –20dBm for the
50W/40W version or –10dBm for the 25W version to approximately
25dB below steady-state power.
Power Ramp-up The power ramp signal is supplied by a 13-bit DAC that is controlled by
custom logic. The ramp is generated using a look-up table in custom logic
memory that is played back at the correct rate to the DAC to produce the
desired waveform. The ramp-up and ramp-down waveforms are produced
by playing back the look-up table in forward and reverse order respectively.
For a given power level the look-up table values are scaled by a steady-state
power constant so that the ramp waveform shape remains the same for all
power levels.
