Abstract

In this paper, the envelope-tracking technique is exploited to boost average efficiency of the newly introduced broadband Inverse Class-E power amplifier. A 2.26 GHz - 20.5 dBm - 3 V power amplifier was designed, constructed, and measured. For a multi-carrier input signal with 10 dB peak-to-average ratio, the average PAE was increased from 5.7% to 54.5%.
