This paper presents the linearization of a high-efficiency compressed power amplifier (PA) by iterative digital predistortion with suppression of memory effects. Iterative injection of the odd-order in-band distortion components is used to enhance the nonlinearity compensation and achieve the optimal ratio of linearization degree to computational complexity by adjusting the number of injections. Baseband...
This paper describes a method for designing single-ended high-efficiency switched-mode class-E UHF power amplifiers. The design procedure consists of a modified load pull transistor characterization from which a power/efficiency metric is calculated. Results for four prototypes using different device technologies are presented in detail. Amplifiers with Si-LDMOS, SiC-MESFET, GaN-HEMT on a Si substrate,...
This paper discusses a linear polar transmitter for EDGE signals with a total DC-to-RF efficiency of 56%. The transmitter is digitally-controlled, allowing for adjustments of delay, phase and amplitude. The amplifier is a 880-MHz class-E high-efficiency circuit with +20 dBm output power and a PAE of 70%. Two different supply modulators are compared: a 18% efficient linear envelope tracker and a 79%...
This paper presents the design and characterization of a 880-MHz class-E power amplifier (PA) designed to operate in a polar transmitter for EDGE signals. The amplifier is intended to be supplied from a 3.6 V battery using a linear amplifier as an envelope tracker, which limits the maximum drain voltage to 3.3 V. With a +7.6 dBm input signal the maximum output power (VDD = 3.3V) is +22.4 dBm with...
Design and implementation of an envelope tracking switched-mode power supply (SMPS) for polar EDGE transmitter is described in this paper. The objectives are to achieve high efficiency and high fidelity tracking as well as low interferences according to the EDGE spectral mask restrictions, while providing approximately constant signal propagation delay for easy compensation in the phase-modulation...
