전력 증폭기의 3차나 5차 비선형성은 인접 통신 채널에 직접적인 영향을 미치므로 선형화 기법을 이용하여 출력단의 혼변조 신호를 감쇄시켜야 한다. 본 논문에서는 전력 증폭기의 입력 신호를 기저대역에서 왜곡시켜 전력 증폭기를 선형화 시키는 디지털 사전 왜곡기를 구현하였다. 측정에 앞서, 모의실험을 통하여 시스템 변수에 따른 선형화기의 성능을 예측하고, 1차원 참조표(look-up table)를 사용한 사전 왜곡기의 측정 결과, 약 9 dB의 ACPR 개선 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

In this paper, I study on the realization of 900 MHz 1 W power amplifier using a harmonic rejection circuit. The proposed harmonic rejection circuit has improved the harmonic rejection characteristic and overcoming the problems related with frequency reproducibility on the microstrip line.

In this paper, the distributed network synthesis, which is useful to the design of wireless power amplifiers, is proposed, and a RF power amplifier is designed using the technique. The transfer function of distributed matching circuits is derived by Chebyshev approximation, and network element values for a specified topology are given as a function of minimum insertion losses and ripples. As an example, after a power transistor is modeled by load-pull data, the synthesis for distributed matching networks is applied to a power amplifier design, which has the electrical performance of 17dB gain and less IM3 than -43dBc at the 20W output power between 800 to 900MHz frequency range. Experimental results from a fabricated amplifier are shown to approach the design performance in the operating frequency range. The design of impedance matching networks by the transfer function synthesis is a useful method for the design of RF power amplifiers.

In this paper, the method to detect the IM(Inter Modulation) components of power amplifier is proposed by using frequency down-convertor. Output signals of power amplifier which is coupled by 20dB coupler and divided by power divider are applied to RF and LO of the frequency converter. It could be found the magnitude of IM components of power amplifier as a converted DC voltage which is come from the difference between 3th and 5th IM component. The detected DC voltage values are changed from 0.72V to 0.9V when 3rd IM component level changed from -26.4dBm to +2.15dBm and 5th IM component level changed from -34.2dBm to -12.89dBm as the Vgs of 3W power amplifier is changed.

In this paper, an accurate method to estimate the measurement uncertainty of a power amplifier was proposed. Because power amplifiers incorporate mismatch at the drain for the optimal performance, the general method is not enough to produce precise measurement uncertainty of the output power. In order to supplement this method, We suggest comprehensive power measurement uncertainty which is utilized by a complex reflection coefficient and measurement uncertainty of S-parameter which contain the mismatch at the drain on the power amplifier. After that, we compared it with real measurement results of the 10 watt power amplifier which operates on 3.7 GHz. As a result, suggested measurement uncertainty could obtain the uncertainty of output power near 10 times accurate in comparison with existing uncertainty calculation method.
