| Summary: | For high frequency wireless digital telecommunication system , the performance
of its amplifier has the significant implication to the power consumption. As the
secondary effect, high power consumption is affect to battery live, and this is
critical matter specially for handheld device.
On this research, a class E switching power amplifier for broadband 2.4 GHz is
designed and nonlinearity is observed. The circuit design is using HMET from
Galium Nitrit to achieve above 50% efficiency. Additional switching transistor
added to the Source side to increase the efficiency. Nonlinearity characterization
observed by IMD measurement using multi tone signal.
The simulation shows that by using the GaN HEMT, efficiency up to 79% with 43
dBm power out and 5 dBm gain can be achieved at the 1-tone input and efficiency
up to 78% at the 2-tone input. IMD measurement shows that the amplifier circuit
more linear at the jarak antar frekuensi 100 MHz than 20 MHz with the IIP3 at
41.81 dBM and OIP3 at 49.68 dBm. |
