Abstract
Switch-mode amplifiers like class-E and class-F have high efficiency and more application in RF system. The high efficiency amplifiers are normally used in the last stage of the power amplifier, but along with more and more critical DC power requirement, driving stage (medium output power) of the power amplifier also requires high efficiency. Based on the class-E amplifier operation and design principle, a 2 GHz medium output power class-E amplifier was designed and manufactured. The test results show agreement with simulation and the amplifier has peak PAE of 78%.
