RF Power Amplifiers Iulian Rosu, YO3 DAC / VA3 IUL, RF Power Amplifiers are used in a wide variety of applications including Wireless Communication, TV transmissions, Radar, and RF heating. The basic techniques for RF Power amplification can use classes as A, B, C, D, E, and F, for frequencies ranging from VLF (Very Low Frequency) through Microwave Frequencies. RF Output Power can range from a few mW to MW, depend by application. The introduction of solid-state RF Power devices brought the use of lower voltages, higher currents, and relatively low load resistances. Most important parameters that defines an RF Power Amplifier are: 1.
• In theory 6dB or more drive power is needed to achieve Class-B compared with Class-A. In practice this 6dB reduction in power gain is lower; for BJT amplifiers is lower than FETs, approximately 2dB. • The efficiency of the push-pull power amplifier is …
