摘要
A broadband class-F power amplifier for handset application is developed covering 1.8 similar to 2.1 GHz. The amplifier maintains constant fundamental impedance and the second and third harmonic impedances to be located at the high efficiency area. The second and third harmonic impedances are found for highly efficient class-F PA. The harmonic control circuits are immersed into the broadband output matching for the fundamental frequency. For demonstration, the PA is implemented using an InGaP/GaAs HBT process, and delivers 1 W output power (< 1 dB variation) and over 48% PAE (54% peak PAE) across 300 MHz bandwidth with a continuous wave (CW) signal and a 3.4 V supply voltage. The broadband class-F PA is promising technique for the EER technique with high-efficiency and broadband.
