The aim of the design is to improve the efficiency of power amplifier while keeping high out output power. A 5 GHz class-F-1 mode power amplifier based on transformer using the TSMC 180-nm CMOS process is presented first. In this design, the conventional output matching networks of LC-tank are replaced by the transformer with a shunt capacitor to increase the power density. The measured result shows 13.2-dB small signal gain, and 25.4-dBm saturation power (Psat) and 41% peak power added efficiency (PAE). While the output power at 1-dB compression point (OP1dB) is 24.6 dBm, and the PAE at OP1dB is 35%. Then a power amplifier works from 2.8 to 6 GHz is also designed using 180-nm CMOS process. The output matching network of the proposed PA achieves wideband fundamental matching and 2nd and 3rd harmonic impedance matching to improve the efficiency simultaneously. The measured result shows 10.4-to-13.4-dB small signal gain, and 20.8-to-22.1-dBm Psat, and 37-44% peak PAE. In the meanwhile the OP1dB is 20.3-21.4 dBm, and the PAE at OP1dB is 32-38%.論文使用權限: 不同意授權功率放大器金氧半場效電晶體開關式放大器高效率F-1模態功率放大器Power amplifierCMOSswitchmode power amplifierhigh efficiencyclass-F-1 mode power amplifier射頻金氧半場效電晶體功率放大器效率提升研究Research of CMOS RF Power Amplifier with Power Efficiency Improvementthesis
