Wideband and efficient watt-level SiGe BiCMOS switching mode power amplifier using continuous class-E modes theory
Paper in proceedings, 2014
In this paper, a generic, wide-band switch mode power amplifier (SMPA) design approach is developed based on the continuous class-E modes theory. A watt level, 1.3-2.2 GHz SiGe BiCMOS class-E SMPA is realized for experimental verification. The prototype provides collector efficiencies higher than 70% and output power levels higher than 29 dBm across 1.3-2.2 GHz band, fully confirming the validity of the proposed design approach.
