Class AD modulator for RF polar amplifier

The power supply modulator is a very critical block of the RF power amplifier (PA) as its performance (including power efficiency, bandwidth and linearity) largely determines the overall performance of the RF PA. In this project, a high speed/high bandwidth Class AD amplifier will be designed as the...
