Envelope tracking ( ET ) describes an approach to radio frequency (RF) amplifier design in which the power supply voltage applied to the RF power amplifier is continuously adjusted to ensure that the amplifier is operating at peak efficiency for power required at each instant of transmission.

Other component makers evaluating the technology include R2 Semiconductor, Mediatek , RF Micro Devices , Skyworks , Texas Instruments , Analog Devices , Nujira and Eta Devices. Eta Devices, an MIT spinoff based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is preparing a base station module and a chip that it claims decreases battery drain and work well in high-bandwidth applications. The company says
150-438: The crest factor of the signal increases, because the amplifier spends more time operating below peak power and, therefore, spends more time operating below its maximum efficiency. The need for greater efficiency arises particularly as modulation schemes become more complicated and their peak to average power ratio increases. Older modulation schemes based on phase or frequency modulation with no amplitude information carried on

In 2013, Qualcomm became the first company to ship a chip with such technology, which it claimed to be the industry’s first for 3G and 4G LTE mobile devices. R2 Semiconductor became the industry's first ET company to ship a phone with ET in the Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini . As of September 2014, at least 16 phones employ ET, including

Eta's approach increases efficiency at the cost of greater signal noise. The company uses advanced digital signal processing to handle the problem. The Eta basestation is a little smaller than a shoebox, is the first 4G LTE transmitter to achieve average efficiency greater than 70 percent, up from
195-410: The peaks of the amplitude. The remainder of the time power is being dissipated unnecessarily. Thus signals with a high peak to average power ratio mean that low efficiency levels are achieved, with the excess energy being wasted, ultimately as heat. Envelope tracking adjusts the voltage applied to an RF power amplifier to deliver the power needed at that instant. Envelope information is derived from

225-441: The signal can use amplifiers that are driven into compression and offer high levels of efficiency. As of 2014 mobile communications basestations consumed ~1% of global electricity. In contrast, many new communications systems from WiMAX to LTE do use amplitude information. The amplifier cannot be run into compression, because the amplitude information becomes distorted. These amplifiers can only achieve their peak efficiency on
