A 2.4 GHz GaAs-HBT Class-E MMIC Amplifier with 65% PAE

A class-E amplifier in the 2 GHz band is presented. It is realized as a coplanar MMIC using a high-voltage GaAs-HBT process. At 37 dBm output power, a high PAE of 65% with 71% collector efficiency are achieved. The gain of the amplifier in the switch-mode region reaches 11 dB. These are very competi...

description A class-E amplifier in the 2 GHz band is presented. It is realized as a coplanar MMIC using a high-voltage GaAs-HBT process. At 37 dBm output power, a high PAE of 65% with 71% collector efficiency are achieved. The gain of the amplifier in the switch-mode region reaches 11 dB. These are very competitive values for PAE, collector efficiency, and output power and the highest ones using GaAs-HBT technology. The measured data is supported by in-depth circuit simulation results highlighting the special conditions and requirements of switch-mode operation.
