Digital Pulse Width Modulated (pwm) Microwave Signal Using a High Efficiency Class-e Amplifier
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high-efficiency class-E power amplifier is proposed for digital PWM microwave signal amplification in the improved Kahn Technique transceiver. The benefit of using a class-E power amplifier in this design approach is to improve efficiency of the power amplifier due to its switching mode operation, theoretically 100 % with ideal conditions. In this paper a class-E amplifier is designed for the transceiver application of the improved Kahn technique using the MWT-8 GaAs FET at 2.4GHz, with 70% drain efficiency (ηd).
