| Summary |
This book provides an overview of current efficiency enhancement and linearization techniques for silicon power amplifier designs. It examines the latest state of the art technologies and design techniques to address challenges for RF cellular mobile, base stations, and RF and mmW WLAN applications. Coverage includes material on current silicon (CMOS, SiGe) RF and mmW power amplifier designs, focusing on advantages and disadvantages compared with traditional GaAs implementations. With this book you will learn: The principles of linearization and efficiency improvement techniquesThe architectures allowing the optimum design of multimode Si RF and mmW power amplifiersHow to make designs more efficient by employing new design techniques such as linearization and efficiency improvementLayout considerationsExamples of schematic, layout, simulation and measurement results. |
