The disadvantage of traditional polar exciser （PE） is the performance degradation when the power of interference is low, i.e., the threshold effect. The proposed improved PE （IMPE） algorithm can overcome the threshold effect of PE by introducing compression gain （CG） metric, which forces PE suppressor active only at larger jammer-to-signal ratio （JSR） and switch to matched filter （MF） at lower JSR. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show the exactness of CG as a switching metric and the validity of the IMPE algorithm.展开更多

It adopts a new on-chip bias circuit, which not only avoids the instability of the direct current bias caused by the change in the power supply and temperature, but also compensates deviations caused by the increase in input power. The bias circuit is a current-mirror configuration, and the feedback circuit helps to maintain bias voltage at a constant level. The gain of the feedback circuit is improved by the addition of a non-inverting amplifier within the feedback circuit. A shunt capacitor at the base node of the active bias transistor enhances the linearity of the PA. The chip is fabricated in an InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor （HBT） process. Measured results exhibit a 26. 6-dBm output compression point, 33.6% power-added efficiency （PAE） and - 40.2 dBc adjacent channel power ratio （ACPR） for wide-band code division multiple access （W-CDMA） applications.展开更多

The module consists of an AIGaN/GaN HEMT, Wilkinson power couplers, DC-bias circuit and microstrip line. For each amplifier, we use a bipolar DC power source. Special RC networks at the input and output and a resistor between the DC power source and the gate of the transistor at the input are used for cancellation of self-oscillation and crosstalk of low-frequency of each amplifier. At the same time, branches of length 3λ/4 for Wilkinson power couplers are designed for the elimination of self-oscillation of the two amplifiers. Microstrip stub lines are used for input matching and output matching. Under Vds = 27 V, Vgs = -4.0 V, CW operating conditions at 8 GHz, the amplifier module exhibits a line gain of 5.6 dB with power added efficiency of 23.4%, and output power of 41.46 dBm （14 W）, and the power gain compression is 3 dB. Between 8 and 8.5 GHz, the variation of output power is less than 1.5 dB.展开更多

Its efficiency is improved by a dynamic supply to reduce the power transistors＇ voltage drop. A gain compression technique is adopted to make the amplifier accommodate a single positive supply. Circuit complicity and chip area are reduced because no charge pump is necessary for the negative supply. A common shared mode voltage and a symmetric layout pattern are used to minimize the non-linearity. A peak efficiency of 80% is reached at peak output power. The measured THD＋N before and after the supply switching point are 0.01% and 0.05%, respectively. The maximum output power is 410 mW for an 8 f2 speaker load. Unlike switching amplifiers, the class-I amplifier operates as a linear amplifier and hence has a low EMI. The advantage of a high efficiency and low EMI makes the class-1 amplifier suitable for portable and RF sensitive applications.展开更多
