Description
Summary:In this paper, based on the specification assigned, I have designed a low voltage Class-E Power Amplifier (PA) using the 0.18μm TSMC CMOS technology from BSIM3 model to achieve the following results: f = 5.8GHz, Pout = 13.003dBm, VDD = 1.8VDC, Bandwidth = 200MHz, Termination = 50Ω, Power Added Efficiency = 71.3%. The design of Class-E PA network contains the presence of parasitics and losses in the switch and shunt-capacitor. The transistor will provide an optimum PAE (power added efficiency). Lastly, the design is simulated and fine-tuning to it resonant to achieve the maximum power control capabilities.
