Introduction -- Review of Telecommunication Aspects for Power Amplifier Design -- Continuous-Mode Power Amplifiers -- Switch-mode Power Amplifiers -- Passives for Power Amplifiers -- Impedance Matching -- Intelligent Automated Design Ideas for Inductor Synthesis -- Full Power Amplifier System Design -- Practical Considerations of Integrated and Discrete Power Amplifier Solutions -- Future Directions and Final Remarks.
This book is the first standalone book that combines research into low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with research into millimeter-wave circuits. To achieve the second research objective, the state-of-the-art LNA configurations are discussed and the weaknesses of state-of-the-art configurations are considered, thus identifying research gaps.by introducing software-based routines in a programming language of their choice. The book is in two parts, the first focusing on power amplifier theory and the second on EDA concepts. Readers will gain enough knowledge of RF and microwave transmission theory, principles of active and passive device design and manufacturing, and power amplifier design concepts to allow them to quickly create their own programs, which will help to accelerate the transceiver design process. All circuit designers facing the challenge of designing an RF or microwave power amplifier for frequencies from 2 to 18 GHz will find this book to be a valuable asset.
