Introduction 1 • A conventional PA achieves its peak efficiency at the maximum output power. • As the output power level is reduced, the efficiency drastically drops. • New design for increasing the efficiency.
Introduction 2 • Bias current control • Bias voltage control • Dual-chain power amplifier: P1dB=16dBm , 28dBm
Proposed linearizer schematics using reverse diode capacitance
Simulated gain compression and phase distortion of the power amplifier
Measured power gain and S11 of the dual-chain MMIC power amplifier
Measured gain and ACLR of the dual-chain MMIC power amplifier
Conclusion Propose a new structure of dual-chain power amplifier. 21% PAE and -33dBc ACLR at 16dBm output power (low). 40% PAE and -30dBc ACLR at 28dBm out power (high).
