Achieve higher levels of performance, integration, compactness, andcost-effectiveness in the design and modeling of radio-frequency(RF) power amplifiers
RF power amplifiers are important components of any wirelesstransmitter, but are often the limiting factors in achieving betterperformance and lower cost in a wireless communicationsystem--presenting the RF IC design community with manychallenges. The next-generation technological advances presented inthis book are the result of cutting-edge research in the area oflarge-signal device modeling and RF power amplifier design at theGeorgia Institute of Technology, and have the potential tosignificantly address issues of performance and cost-effectivenessin this area.
Richly complemented with hundreds of figures and equations,Modeling and Design Techniques for RF Power Amplifiers introducesand explores the most important topics related to RF poweramplifier design under one concise cover. With a focus onefficiency enhancement techniques and the latest advances in thefield, coverage includes:
* Device modeling for CAD
* Empirical modeling of bipolar devices
* Scalable modeling of RF MOSFETs
* Power amplifier IC design
* Power amplifier design in silicon
* Efficiency enhancement of RF power amplifiers
The description of state-of-the-art techniques makes this book avaluable and handy reference for practicing engineers andresearchers, while the breadth of coverage makes it an ideal textfor graduate- and advanced undergraduate-level courses in the areaof RF power amplifier design and modeling.
