This Simulation of power amplifiers (PAs) for modern wireless base station and small cell systems is an essential part of the design process. At a cell site – the PA consumes the bulk of the dc power – generates the most heat – and thus represents the greatest operational cost. Maximum PA efficiency is a necessity to manage these costs – which is a sizeable challenge in a PA that also must be highly linear to support the complex multilevel modulation types and wide bandwidths used for current and developing wireless transmission standards. Accurate simulation allows the PA designer to meet these challenges by exploring the available design options and then optimizing the circuit that is selected for the application.

by Thomas M. Hone; Souheil Bensmida; Kevin A. Morris; Mark A. Beach; Joe P. McGeehan; Jonathan Lees; Johannes Benedikt; Paul J. Tasker – Mathematical analysis of Doherty amplifiers have assumed many simplifications. Most notably – the peaking amplifier does not contribute power into the load and the peaking stage has an observed impedance of infinity. This paper will show that these simplifications impair the performance of a single-input Doherty amplifier and that phase tuning for compensation is needed to improve the overall system performance.

by Seunghoon Jee; Junghwan Moon; Jungjoon Kim; Junghwan Son; Bumman Kim – The switching behavior of Class-E power amplifiers (PAs) is described. Although the zero voltage switching can be performed properly – the charging process at the switch-off transition cannot be abrupt and the waveform deviates from the ideal shape – degrading the efficiency. For the operation above maximum frequency – the charging process should be even faster but it cannot follow. Moreover – the discharging process is not sufficiently fast and further degrades the efficiency. The discharging process is assisted by the bifurcated current at saturation. The performance of the Class-E PA above the maximum frequency is enhanced by the nonlinear – which helps to shape the voltage waveform. The bifurcated current itself cannot generate enough of a second-harmonic voltage component to shape the required voltage waveform. The performance of the Class-E PA can be further improved by a second-harmonic tuning and a conjugate matched output load – leading to the saturated PA. Compared with the Class-E PA – the saturated amplifier delivers higher output power and efficiency. A highly efficient saturated amplifier is designed using a Wolfspeed GaN HEMT CGH40010 device at 3.5 GHz. It provides a drain efficiency of 75.8% at a saturated power of 40.2 dBm (10.5 W).

Improving Pulse Fidelity in RF Power Amplifiers

A radar system designer’s most coveted objectives are achieving a long range, adequate resolution to distinguish objects in close proximity to each other, and the ability to not only determine target velocities but target types in order to help differentiate friendlies from adversaries.A combination of both approaches is essential, and engineers can design for peak power points of the load-pull simulation while also paying attention to other parts of the circuit for baseband signal fidelity.
