摘要：
This brief presents the application of a reconfigurable matching network (RMN) to improve the efficiency of an RF power amplifier (PA) using dynamic load modulation techniques under different antenna mismatch conditions. By changing the RMN state, a near-optimal output impedance is presented to the PA, achieving high efficiency for all input-driven levels. Simulations show efficiency enhancement, while nonlinear distortion can be mitigated using digital predistortion. It will be also shown that under severe mismatch conditions, using an RMN, significant efficiency and linearity improvements can be achieved.
