Power Matching (Max. Power)
Power Amp Design 2.14 GHz WCDMA Amplifier • Gain > 10 dB • 1-dB-compression > 45 dBm • Psat > 47 dBm Main challenge: designing for maximum power output During brainstorm process, decided: • two stages needed to get desired gain • stage one: • silicon transistor • passive bias • stage two: • power FET • active bias power stage driver stage
S 22 Designing the Output Stage for Maximum Output Power • output impedance varies as function of output power • ideal impedance exists for maximum output power • two technique provides information for output-stage matching • load-pull technique Low power High power
Pmax -1dB -2dB -3dB DUT Load-Pull Technique • vary magnitude and phase of load presented to circuit • power output is measured at each impedance point • can use behavioral model (based on measurements) Output impedance and power measurement system Input impedance and power measurement system X X X X Input Tuner Output Tuner Constant output power contours versus output load impedance (input power constant) Can be very expensive and time-intensive
