This paper presents a 30dBm (1W) class-E power amplifier projected in a standard 0.18-μm CMOS technology. The power amplifier (PA) consists in two differentials stages. The main stage employs a cascode class-E RF power amplifier with a self-biasing circuit. The driver stage uses the technique of Injection-Locking to substantially reduce the input power signal, maintaining a high gain. At 2.45 G...

Analysis and simulation are presented of the mismatched load condition for a balanced class-E power amplifier, which is based on 90° hybrids at its input and output. The performances of the 200-Watt balanced class-E amplifier, such as the output power and efficiency, were analyzed and compared to the conventional single-ended class-E power amplifier for the 1:3 VSWR mismatch condition. The simu...

The Class-E power amplifier is widely used due to its high efficiency, resulting from switching at zero voltage and zero slope of the switch voltage. In this paper, we extend general analytical solutions for the Class-E power amplifier to the ideal single-ended Variable-Voltage Class-E (Class-Evv) power amplifier that switches at zero slope but not necessarily at zero voltage. The theory is ver...

This paper analyzes maximum output power of class E amplifier with arbitrary transistor. It is important to estimate maximum output power of class E amplifier when a specification of transistor is given. In this paper, values of circuit parameters that gives maximum output power for given operating frequency, dc supply voltage, and output capacitance of the transistor are calculated. This paper...

This paper presents the design of a capacitive power transfer (CPT) system by using the Class-E amplifier approach. The Class-E amplifier approach is chosen to be adopted since it produces high efficiency as close as to 100%, theoretically. Based on the Class-E approach, a design of wireless power transfer system is used to transfer power to a LED lamp. The system has an output around 4.2 watts...

Class-E amplifier has the potential to deliver high efficiency required for the next generation wireless systems. In this journal, we discuss a novel load pull analysis technique to characterize the efficiency performance of Class-E amplifier in an outphasing power combining scheme. Class-E amplifier is not an ideal current or voltage source as is required for the traditional analysis of outpha...
