This paper discusses the circuits and system design methodology of a highly-efficient wideband RF polar transmitter (TX) using the envelope-tracking (ET) technique for mobile WiMAX applications. Monolithic power amplifiers (PAs) are designed and fabricated in IBM 0.18 μm SiGe BiCMOS technology, and a linear-assisted switch-mode envelope amplifier is applied to modulate the PA supply voltage to form...
In this paper, a monolithic RF cascode SiGe power amplifier (PA) design capable of enhancing its power-added efficiency (PAE) is demonstrated. Four RF switches are adopted at the bases of the common-emitter transistors, which can be turned on/off in response to the desired output power. Simulations show that by utilizing device size variation, our cascode PA achieves higher gain and PAE compared to...
