Systems and methods of rf power transmission, modulation, and amplification

Abstract

An apparatus, system, and method are provided for energy conversion. For example, the apparatus can include a trans-impedance node, a reactive element, and a trans-impedance circuit. The reactive element can be configured to transfer energy to the trans-impedance node. The trans-impedance circuit can be configured to receive one or more control signals and to dynamically adjust an impedance of the trans-impedance node. The trans-impedance node, as a result, can operate as an RF power switching supply based on the one or more control signals.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising:
 a trans-impedance node;   a reactive element configured to transfer energy to the trans-impedance node; and   a trans-impedance circuit configured to receive in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) control signals and to dynamically adjust an impedance of the trans-impedance node, wherein the I and Q control signals comprise amplitude information, phase information, frequency information, or a combination thereof, and wherein each of the I and Q control signals represents a portion of a total information entropy.
