this paper presents a new closed form expression for the average efficiency of power amplifiers (PA) driven by modulated signals. Based on an approximation for the PA I-V curve, the PA output power and the DC current are estimated using the probability distribution function (PDF) of the modulated signal. The efficiency as a function of transistor parameters and the bias point is estimated. The closed...
