Switchmode RF and Microwave Power Amplifiers

Improve your designs of switchmode RF and microwave power amplifiers and consume much less power. §Written by leading experts, this book is a broad and in-depth reference on RF and microwave switch mode power amplifiers. It combines theoretical analysis with practical implementation, including the use of computer-aided design examples. §With this book you will be able to: §Obtain all the relevant information required to design high-efficiency RF and microwave power amplifiers on different types of bipolar and field-effect transistors based on well-known and novel theoretical approaches, nonlinear simulation tools, and practical design techniques. §Design any type of high-efficiency switchmode power amplifiers operating in Class D or E at lower frequencies and in Class E or F and their subclasses at microwave frequencies with different output powers.§Better understand the theoretical aspects and practical implementation of load-network design techniques based on lumped and transmission-line elements. Combine multi-stage Doherty architecture and switchmode power amplifiers to significantly increase efficiency of the entire radio transmitter. §learn the basics and different types of predistortion linearization techniques required to improve quality of signal transmission in nonlinear amplifying system§New to this edition: §. Comprehensive overview of different Doherty architectures which are, and will be, used in modern communication systems to save power consumption and reduce costs of the system §. Two new chapters on analog and digital predistortion techniques §. Coverage of Broadband Class F power amplifiers, high power inverse class F power amplifiers for WCDMA systems; broadband class E §This book offers all you need to know to use RF and microwave power amplifiers, balancing theory with practical examples of implementation, enabling you to understand design issues and trade-offs and improve future designs. §The only book to focus solely on switchmode power amplifiers which are central to cellular and wireless communications, satellite and radar communications §Features a chapter on the Doherty architecture which offers great savings in power consumption and which is starting to be implemented, and will be widely used in the near future as engineers seek to cut power consumption §Balances theory with practical implementatation, enabling engineers to develop better designs
