Abstract

In this paper, high efficient power amplifier with dual band has been realized. Dual band power amplifier have used modify stub matching for single FET, center frequency 2.14GHz and 5.2GHz respectively. The dual-band operation of the CRLH TL is achieved by the frequency offset and the nonlinear phase slope of the CRLH TL for the matching network of the power amplifier. Because the control of the all harmonic components is very difficult m dual-band, we have managed only the second- and third-harmonics to obtain the high efficiency with the CRLH TL in dual-band. Dual-band characteristics in the output has to balance. Two operating frequencies are chosen at 2.14 GHz and 5.2 GHz in this work. The measured results show that the output power of 28.56 dBm and 29 dBm was obtained at 2.14 GHz and 5.2 GHz, respectively. At this point, we have obtained the power-added efficiency (PAE) of 65.824 % and 69.86 % at two operation frequencies, respectively.

본 논문에서는 단일 FET와 composite right/left-handed (CRLH) 전송선을 이용하여 2.14GHz/5.2GHz 이중대역 고효율 전력 증폭기를 설계 구현하였다. 전송선로를 이용하여 초기의 정합값을 적절히 이동시켜 하나의 능동소자로 2.14GHz/5.2GHz의 이중대역에서 동작되는 전력증폭기를 설계하였다. 이중 대역에서 모든 고조파 성분을 조절하는 것은 매우 어렵기 때문에, CRLH 전송 선로를 이용하여 이중 대역에서 고효율 특성을 얻도록 오직 2차, 3차 고조파 성분만을 조절하였다. 또한, 이중 대역에서의 출력특성이 균형을 이루도록 하였다. 전력증폭기의 측정된 출력 전력은 각각 2.14 GHz에서 28.56 dBm, 5.2 GHz에서 29 dBm이다. 이 지점에서 얻은 전력 효율, PAE는 2.14 GHz에서 65.824 %, 5.2 GHz에서 69.86 %이다.
