Radio transmitter and envelope tracking power supply control method
The envelope tracking power supply includes a plurality of variable voltage supplies. A power supply controller of a power amplifier controls the plurality of variable voltage supplies so as to precisely divide the power supply voltage in a high frequency area, based on the voltage distribution of a received transmitted base band signal, in order to maximize the power added efficiency of the power amplifier. The power supply controller includes a threshold memory including a plurality of first zones, and a frequency memory including a plurality of second zones. The power supply controller changes the threshold held in the first zones so that each second zone approaches the average of the second zones.
