The Continuous Harmonic-Tuned Power Amplifier

In this work, a new power amplifier (PA) mode is introduced-the continuous Harmonic-Tuned 2nd (HT 2 ) mode. The mode offers the potential to deliver high efficiency across wide bandwidths. The voltage and current waveforms required to realise this novel mode are examined, theoretical performance is...

Summary:In this work, a new power amplifier (PA) mode is introduced-the continuous Harmonic-Tuned 2nd (HT 2 ) mode. The mode offers the potential to deliver high efficiency across wide bandwidths. The voltage and current waveforms required to realise this novel mode are examined, theoretical performance is described, and measurement results are presented, verifying the theory.
