چکیده
This paper presents the design of a reconfigurable power amplifier for Mobile WIMAX applications in the user terminal. The amplifier, which operates from 3.4GHz to 3.5GHz, is based on the Doherty technique. This power efficiency enhancement technique is suitable for modern wireless communications systems, as Mobile WIMAX, that present with high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) to target high peak data rates while maintaining a trade-off between efficiency and linearity. In addition, reconfigurability in output power levels is added to the design to adapt it to different power scenarios. This work has been carried out in the framework of the CELTIC project MOBILIA, “Mobility Concepts for IMT-Advanced”.

متن کاملCMOS PA inducing a Leakage Signal for Mobile WiMAX
A dynamic bias technology is proposed to meet linearity standards at high-power levels and simultaneously reduce power consumption at low-power output levels for a mobile WiMAX terminal application. The dynamic bias circuit induces voltage via the current from the source port of the final active stage, and makes the bias operate the PA dynamically as the output power level is increased. The fab...

A two stage sub-µW Inverter-based switched-capacitor amplifier-filter is presented which is capable of amplifying both spikes and local field potentials (LFP) signals. Here we employ a switched capacitor technique for frequency tuning and reducing of 1/f noise of two stages. The reduction of power consumption is very necessary for neural recording devices however, in switched capacitor (SC) cir...
