Book Description
With the increasing demand for higher data rates and the crowding of the cellular bands below 3 GHz, researchers are looking to the millimeter-wave frequency spectrum to define the next generation of mobile broadband communications. One of the biggest challenges in implementing a millimeter-wave solution is the low efficiency of commercially available millimeter-wave power amplifiers. Furthermore, the monolithic millimeter-wave integrated circuit (MMIC) power amplifiers also need to have high power with reasonable gain, good linearity and maintain a compact chip size. In Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 of this dissertation, a compact high efficiency Ka-band power amplifier and a highly linear amplifier using second harmonic injection will be demonstrated. The requirements are even more stringent when the amplifiers are deployed in wireless systems that have high peak to average power ratio (PAPR). Among the most popular solutions to achieve high efficiency at power back-off is the Doherty architecture. Thus far, Doherty power amplifiers have been primarily implemented in the spectrum below 3 GHz for cellular base stations. Very few millimeter-wave Doherty PA’s have been reported to date. The conventional Doherty architecture has several inherent drawbacks that cause low efficiency, occupy large chip size and limit the performance bandwidth. Therefore, in our work, we propose four different Doherty amplifier topologies improve the DPA performance: 1) An ultra-compact Doherty amplifier using 3-dimensional broadside coupler 2) A wideband reconfigurable Doherty amplifier 3) A high power density stacked-FET Doherty power amplifier with asymmetrical gate bias 4) A high efficiency asymmetrical Doherty power amplifier using novel load modulation scheme based on load-pull data. All the proposed DPAs are fabricated in a 0.15-[mu]m enhancement mode (E-mode) Gallium Arsenide (GaAs) process. The proposed techniques and experimental results will be discussed in Chapter 3, 4, 5 and 6.The content of this dissertation is a compilation of 18 manuscripts, all of which I am the author or co-author. The titles, publishers and publication dates of the manuscripts are listed on page xii and xiii in this dissertation.
High-Efficiency Load Modulation Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications
Author: Zhancang WangPublisher: Artech House
ISBN: 1630814679
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 389
Book Description
This cutting-edge resource presents a complete and systematic overview of the practical design considerations of radio frequency (RF) high efficiency load modulation power amplifiers (PA) for modern wireless communications for 4G and beyond. It provides comprehensive insight into all aspects of load modulation PA design and optimization not only covering design approaches specifically for passive and active load modulation operation but also hybrid with dynamic supply modulation and digital signal processing algorithms required for performance enhancement. Passive load impedance tuner design, dynamic load modulation PA, active load modulation PA and Doherty PA design for efficiently enhancement are explained. Readers find practical guidance into load modulation PA design for bandwidth extension, including video bandwidth enhancement techniques, broadband dynamic load amplifiers, topology selection, design procedures, and network output. This book presents the evolution and integration of classical load modulation PA topologies in order to meet new challenges in the field.

Book Description
Advances in electronics have pushed mankind to create devices, ranging from - credible gadgets to medical equipment to spacecraft instruments. More than that, modern society is getting used to—if not dependent on—the comfort, solutions, and astonishing amount of information brought by these devices. One ?eld that has continuously bene?tted from those advances is the radio frequency integrated c- cuit (RFIC) design, which in its turn has promoted countless bene?ts to the mankind as a payback. Wireless communications is one prominent example of what the - vances in electronics have enabled and their consequences to our daily life. How could anyone back in the eighties think of the possibilities opened by the wireless local area networks (WLANs) that can be found today in a host of places, such as public libraries, coffee shops, trains, to name just a few? How can a youngster, who lives this true WLAN experience nowadays, imagine a world without it? This book dealswith the design oflinearCMOS RF PowerAmpli?ers(PAs). The RF PA is a very important part of the RF transceiver, the device that enables wireless communications. Two important aspects that are key to keep the advances in RF PA design at an accelerate pace are treated: ef?ciency enhancement and frequen- tunable capability. For this purpose, the design of two different integrated circuits realizedina0. 11μmtechnologyispresented,eachoneaddressingadifferentaspect. With respect to ef?ciency enhancement, the design of a dynamic supply RF power ampli?er is treated, making up the material of Chaps. 2 to 4.
