The Lecture is:

Design of Supply Modulators for RF Power Amplifier Systems

 

Abstract:

Radio-frequency (RF) power amplifiers (PA) are top power consuming components, especially with today’s 5G  technology. To improve the PA’s efficiency, dynamic power supply technologies, such as average power tracking (APT) and envelope tracking (ET) have been proposed. High-frequency 3-level switching converters are proposed for the APT application due to the advantages of high efficiency, small ripple and fast tracking speed. An envelope-shaping-and-tracking CMOS PA system was proposed for LTE application. In the system, an AC-coupling supply modulator of a 3-level switching amplifier assisted by a wide-bandwidth linear amplifier is designed. The supply modulator achieves high efficiency and the CMOS PA system is well qualified for LTE standards with much lower costs.
