This paper presents optimized Current-Mode Class-D (CMCD) RF Power Amplifiers (PA). The results demonstrate 73.63/79.75% Power Added Efficiency (PAE), for 29.5/26.5dBm output power in a standard 350/130nm CMOS technology at 2.4 GHz operation frequency for sine wave input. The proposed amplifier design is implemented using CADENCE tools (TSMC Foundry) and the simulation results are compared to the previous published work. Thank to intensive parameter optimization, the proposed design has succeeded in increasing the PAE.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
