An LDMOS VHF Class-E Power Amplifier Using a High- Novel Variable Inductor
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an lateral diffused metal–oxide– semiconductor-based very high-frequency class-E power amplifier has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Simulations were verified by amplifier measurements and a record-high class-E output power was obtained at 144 MHz, whic is in excellent agreement with simulations. The key of the results is the use of efficient device models, simulation tools, and the invention of a novel high-Q inductor for the output series resonance network. The latter allows for low losses in the output network and, simultaneously, a wide tuning range for maximum output power or maximum efficiency optimization.

A Novel Linearizing Techniq Based Linearizers for Lightwe
A novel way to compensate the distortion of Power Amplifier(PA) modules is presented in this paper. A diode linearizer with an inductor is used to compensate the distortion of the PA using LDMOS FET and has a characteristic of a positive phase and a gain expansion. Two diode-based linearizers are employed to compensate the distortions. One linearizer compensates the distortion of the phase, mai...

Abstract This paper proposes the use of an inverse class-E amplifier with a tunable parallel resonator at the output port in order to obtain a high power-added efficiency (PAE) and output power in a wide frequency range. The tunable resonator circuit has a constant Q factor in the operating frequency range, and since the circuit has a varactor diode, the inductor and capacitor values of the res...

In this paper, the intermodulation distortion (IMD) behavior of LDMOS transistors is treated. First, an analysis is performed to explain measured IMD characteristics in different classes of operation. It is shown that the turn-on region plays an important role in explaining measured IMD behavior, which may also give a clue to the excellent linearity of LDMOS transistors. Thereafter, with this k...
