Journal ArticleDOI
Load Modulation of Harmonically Tuned Amplifiers and Application to Outphasing Systems
Paolo Enrico de Falco,Prathamesh H. Pednekar,Konstantinos Mimis,Souheil Ben Smida,Gavin T. Watkins,Kevin A. Morris,Taylor W. Barton +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the optimal load trajectories for harmonically tuned (HT) amplifiers operating under load modulation conditions were derived, and it was shown that HT amplifiers are better suited for outphasing systems than conventional amplifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved Reactance-Compensation Technique for the Design of Wideband Suboptimum Class-E Power Amplifiers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a method to improve the reactance compensation technique for wideband class-E power amplifiers by changing the order and values of the resistances.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ambient RF energy harvesting trial in domestic settings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the feasibility of ambient radio frequency (RF) energy harvesting for powering low-power electronic devices, in domestic environments, using an omnidirectional, broadband, discone antenna and a handheld spectrum analyser.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Not to Rely on Moore's Law Alone: Low-Complexity Envelope-Tracking Amplifiers
TL;DR: Achieving fast wireless access speeds in an already restricted bandwidth requires that the RF power amplifier (PA) be highly linear to preserve the modulation and, hence, the transmitted data and simultaneously avoid interfering with users of the rest of the spectrum.
Journal ArticleDOI
A 60% PAE WCDMA Handset Transmitter Amplifier
Paul A Warr,Kevin A. Morris,Gavin T. Watkins,T.R. Horseman,K. Takasuka,Y. Ueda,Y. Kobayashi,S. Miya +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, a class-E envelope elimination and restoration (EER) based amplifier for a wideband code division multiple access (CDMA) application is presented, which attains 60% power-added efficiency at peak power output.
