This paper examines different linearization techniques which are used to linearize the power amplifier by emphasizing on weakness and strength of each technique. After complete analyze it has been concluded that Digital Pre Distortion (DPD) technique is the best linearization technique to linearize the power amplifier. DPD technique for linearizing a wideband radio frequency power amplifier has...

This paper presents a new common-mode stabilization method for a CMOS differential cascode Class-E power amplifier with LCtank based driver stage. The stabilization method is based on the identification of the poles and zeros of the closed-loop transfer function at a critical node. By adding a series resistor at the common-gate node of the cascode transistor, the right-half-plane poles are move...

A circuit technique to correct Vdd/PM distortion and improve efficiency as supply modulation of cascode class-E PAs has been proposed. The experimental result shows that the phase distortion can be improved from 20 degrees to 5 degrees. Moreover, a system co-simulation result demonstrated that the EVM can be improved from −17 dB to −19 dB. key words: envelope elimination and restoration (EER), ...

Wide frequency bandwidth has been internationally allocated for unlicensed operation around the oxygen absorption frequency at 60 GHz. A power amplifier and a low noise amplifier are presented as building blocks for a T/R-unit at this frequency.
