Résumé

Learn how to tackle a power amplifier (PA) design with confidence and save time in determining the cause of malfunctioning hardware with this guide to the theory and practice of RF PA design for modern communications systems. Written for practicing RF/MW engineers and wireless system designers, this pioneering resource explores a new and unified approach to the classification of higher (Class F and Class D) amplifier modes based on overdrive considerations. RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications contains the most complete survey of RF PA efficiency enhancement and linearization techniques in a single volume.

It helps you....

Design suitable matching networks which provide correct fundamental harmonic terminations for conventional (AB, B) high efficiency PA modes
Understand the Class D, E, and F modes and their feasibility at microwave frequencies
Use envelope simulation techniques to analyze the effects of distortion in overdriven PAs
Maintain high efficiency operation at low points in an amplitude modulated signal envelope including detailed coverage of the Doherty, Chireix, and Kahn techniques
Understand the possibilities and limitations of linearization methods
Objectively analyze PA stability and oscillation problems

With a focus on practical applications and hardware implementation, and a wealth of previously unpublished material, this is the most useful, up-to-date design guide available! Supplemented by 190 illustrations and excellent bibliographic listings for further reference.
