Abstract

A system and method which includes receiving an input signal and providing, by an amplifier circuit, an output signal in response to the input signal, the output signal having an envelope. An envelope detection signal corresponding to the envelope of the output signal is generated. A bias current provided to an amplifier circuit is adjusted based upon the envelope detection signal. The amplifier circuit includes an amplifier and a transformer, the transformer being configured to establish a magnetically coupled feedback loop from an output of the amplifier to an input of the amplifier.
