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...

a digital look-up table adaptive predistortion technique using a six-port receiver for power amplifier linearization is presented. the system is designed in ka-band for a dvb-s2 satellite link. we use a six-port receiver at the linearizationloop in place of classic heterodyne receivers. the six-port receiver is implemented by the use of passive microwavecircuits and detector diodes. this approa...

Class-E power amplifiers have high efficiency, which makes them attractive in modern wireless mobile communication systems. There are several techniques and approaches developed solely to design the output load networks of such amplifiers to shape the RF power device’s output voltage and current for minimum power loss. However, little attention is brought to the design of the input matching net...

This paper presents the analytical solution in time domain for the ideal single-ended Class-E Power Amplifier (PA). Based on the analytical solution a coherent non-iterative procedure for choosing the circuit parameters is presented for ClassE PA’s with arbitrary duty-cycle and finite dc-feed inductance (e.g. continuously ranging from Class-E with small finite drain inductance to Class-E with R...

In this paper, we investigate the parameters affecting Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and Power Supply Rejection Ratio (PSRR) in PWM Class D Amplifiers (CDAs) on the basis of linear models with feedback. From our mathematical analysis, we show that the THD of a PWM Class D amplifier with feedback can be improved by increasing the gain of the integrator through adding another amplifier at the o...
