摘要
This paper presents a comparison of hybrid microwave class-E power amplifiers (PAs) using two types of active devices: GaAs MESFET and InP DHBT. The active devices have comparable periphery, are capable of delivering 20-21 dBm of output power at 10 GHz, with drain (collector) efficiencies in the range of 65%. Both PAs are characterized for envelope elimination and restoration technique (EER). Power, gain and efficiency sweeps, AM-AM and AM-PM characteristics, frequency sweeps and drain (collector) bias modulation properties are presented for the MESFET and HBT class-E PA.
