High Efficiency Frequency Tunable Inverse Class-E Amplifier in VHF Band

چکیده
Abstract This paper proposes the use of an inverse class-E amplifier with a tunable parallel resonator at the output port in order to obtain a high power-added efficiency (PAE) and output power in a wide frequency range. The tunable resonator circuit has a constant Q factor in the operating frequency range, and since the circuit has a varactor diode, the inductor and capacitor values of the resonator can be changed. Further, the inductance value for zero-current switching (ZCS) is implemented a lumped element and the capacitance value is made a distributed element for phase compensation. The inverse class-E amplifier can deliver an output power of 25dBm and can achieve a maximum a PAE of 75% in the frequency range 65-120MHz.

Design of a High Range, High Efficiency Spread Spectrum Transmitter for Audio Communication Applications
This work proposes a direct sequence spread spectrum transmitter with high transmission range and efficiency for audio signals. It is shown that by choosing high process gain for spread spectrum signal the data could reach a range of 55km in the 2.4GHz ISM band. By employing a light modulation scheme, we have a relaxed SNR requirement for having a low bit error rate (BER) which translates to re...

Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) consist of different elements. The most important element of TWT is the RF circuit. RF circuits in helix TWTs need a dielectric support to hold the helix; this support also has an effect in electromagnetic properties of RF circuits. A novel dielectric support is proposed to reduce the second harmonic of helix TWTs. The dielectric support in this structure consists of...
