A Practical Class S Power Amplifier for High Frequency Transmitters
نویسندگان
چکیده
Digital signal processing (DSP) techniques are being incorporated in the design of modern power amplifiers (PA) and as the speed of DSP advances it is envisioned that DSP will develop to a point where algorithms will provide signals at RF particularly for switching amplifiers. The digital transmitter has many potential benefits such as the absence of aging or tuning problems, reconfigurability, programmability as well as ease of integration and testing. In this paper a new class S RF power amplifier architecture is proposed for use in high frequency transmitters and is not restricted by the requirement for the square wave modulator to have a sampling rate of 4 times the carrier frequency.

Design of an Efficient Circuit for Data Rate Configuration in Power Amplifier Dedicated to Wireless Medical Applications
This paper presents a new circuit to configure power amplifier (PA) for return-to-zero on-off-keying (RZ-OOK) transmitters. The proposed PA works as a multimode structure with configurable data rate and output power. The programmable data rate function is achieved by duty cycle adjustment of input data and producing input RZ-data by a simple circuit, which leads to a linear scale of data rate w...
