Abstract

In this paper, a high-efficiency power amplifier is implemented using a gate and drain bias control circuit for WPT (Wireless Power Transmission). This control circuit has been employed to improve the PAE (Power Added Efficiency). The gate and drain bias control circuits consists of a directional coupler, power detector, and operation amplifier. A high gain two-stage amplifier using a drive amplifier is used for the low input stage of the power amplifier. The proposed power amplifier that uses a gate and drain bias control circuit can have high efficiency at a low and high power level. The PAE has been improved up to 80.5%.

본 논문은 고효율 전력증폭기는 무선전력전송을 위한 게이트와 드레인 바이어스 조절 회로를 사용하여 설계하였다. 이 조절 회로는 PAE (Power Added Efficiency)를 개선하기 위해 사용되었다. 게이트와 드레인 바이어스 조절 회로는 directional coupler, power detector, and operational amplifier로 구성되어있다. 구동증폭기를 사용하여 고이득 2단 증폭기는 전력증폭기의 낮은 입력단에 사용되었다. 게이트와 드레인 바이어스 조절회로를 사용하여 제안된 전력증폭기는 낮은 전력에서 높은 효율성을 가질 수 있다. PAE는 80.5%까지 향상되었고 출력전력은 40.17dBm이다.
