A +32 dBm 1.85 GHz class-D outphasing RF PA in 130nm CMOS for WCDMA/LTE
This paper presents a Class-D outphasing RF Power Amplifier (PA) which can operate at a 5.5 V supply and deliver +32 dBm at 1.85 GHz in a standard 130nm CMOS technology. The PA utilizes four on-chip transformers to combine the outputs of eight Class-D stages. The Class-D stages utilize a cascode configuration, driven by an AC-coupled low-voltage driver, to allow a 5.5 V supply in the 1.2/2.5 V ...

H igh efficiency linear amplification is of great interest in modern communication systems as it increases talk time, decreases power consumption , decreases heat dissipation, and improves reliability. The efficiency of linear power amplifiers (PAs) is highest at the peak output power (PEP) and decreases significantly for low amplitudes, as shown in Figure 1. Signals with time-varying amplitude...

Second Harmonic Class-E PA Design The selected active device for the transmission-line class-E2 PA is the SD57030 transistor provided by STMicroelectronics. It has a maximum drain voltage of 65 V. In an ideal class-E PA in the optimum operating mode with 50% duty cycle and a slope of zero [5], the peak drain voltage is vDmax =3.56 VDD. Since the peak varies with load impedance, a design for vDm...
متن کاملA 10 dBm 2.4 GHz CMOS PA
This report describes the assessment and design of a 10 dBm 2.4 GHz CMOS PA including driver stage. The PA is designed in a 0.18 μm CMOS technology. A three stage PA has been designed due to the high voltage gain needed. Class F has been chosen for the output stage. An output filter short-circuiting the second harmonic frequency and reflecting the third harmonic frequency is used to obtain the ...
متن کاملLoad Pull Methodology to Characterize Class-E Outphasing Power Amplifiers
A novel load pull methodology to characterize the performance of class-E outphasing power amplifiers is presented. The traditional analysis of the outphasing topology cannot be applied when classE amplifiers are used because these amplifiers do not behave as an ideal current or voltage source. Unlike most other amplifier classes, class-E amplifiers require a phase modulated input signal with co...
