Abstract

A radio frequency device and mobile terminal having this device, includes a power amplifier (PA) for radio frequency signals (IRF, ORF) and a stabilizer (STB) for controlling power variations of the radio frequency output signal (ORF) as a function of variations of a reference voltage (VCON). The stabilizer is equal to a nominal resistance (RN) having a predetermined value as a function of an isopower curve (H, DH) of the power amplifier and generates for the power amplifier a supply voltage (VPA) in dependence on the reference voltage (VCON) and the nominal resistance (RN), so that the power consumption (PPA) and output power (POUT) are independent of the real internal resistance (RPA) of the power amplifier.
