Download or read book Optimized Class E RF Power Amplifier Design in Bulk CMOS written by Tao Wang and published by ProQuest. This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The telecommunication market calls for the integration of complicated wireless applications. To build RF power amplifiers in CMOS remains challenging due to the non-ideal effects in CMOS. The aim of this thesis is to provide an optimized yet explicit design method for the Class-E amplifiers in CMOS. Taking the finite DC feed inductor into consideration, a simple but accurate numerical design method is proposed by applying polynomial interpolation. Combining with a practical design strategy for non-ideal transistors of finite conductance and parasitic capacitances, a two-staged Class-E power amplifier is implemented in 0.18mum CMOS. The simulation results show that this power amplifier can deliver at least a 23dBm power to a 50Ohm load with 73.5% PAE at 2.4GHz. The good agreement between simulation results and the predicted values validates this design method and its applications in CMOS. This method could be applied to general design cases.

Download or read book Switchmode RF Power Amplifiers written by Andrei Grebennikov and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A majority of people now have a digital mobile device whether it be a cell phone, laptop, or blackberry. Now that we have the mobility we want it to be more versatile and dependable; RF power amplifiers accomplish just that. These amplifiers take a small input and make it stronger and larger creating a wider area of use with a more robust signal. Switching mode RF amplifiers have been theoretically possible for decades, but were largely impractical because they distort analog signals until they are unrecognizable. However, distortion is not an issue with digital signals—like those used by WLANs and digital cell phones—and switching mode RF amplifiers have become a hot area of RF/wireless design. This book explores both the theory behind switching mode RF amplifiers and design techniques for them. *Provides essential design and implementation techniques for use in cma2000, WiMAX, and other digital mobile standards *Both authors have written several articles on the topic and are well known in the industry *Includes specific design equations to greatly simplify the design of switchmode amplifiers

More than that, modern society is getting used to—if not dependent on—the comfort, solutions, and astonishing amount of information brought by these devices. One ?eld that has continuously bene?tted from those advances is the radio frequency integrated c- cuit (RFIC) design, which in its turn has promoted countless bene?ts to the mankind as a payback. Wireless communications is one prominent example of what the - vances in electronics have enabled and their consequences to our daily life. How could anyone back in the eighties think of the possibilities opened by the wireless local area networks (WLANs) that can be found today in a host of places, such as public libraries, coffee shops, trains, to name just a few?
