Effect of gate‐to‐source capacitance of high‐power Si‐LDMOS FET on the asymmetrical intermodulation and modulation bandwidth of base‐station amplifiers
Abstract:This letter presents the effect of the gate‐to‐source capacitance (Cgs) on the imbalance of the intermodulation distortion (IMD) and modulation bandwidth of Si‐LDMOS field effect transistor (FET) high‐power base‐station PAs. It is revealed that the strong Cgs nonlinearity at the input gate of the LDMOS significantly contributes to the output intermodulation imbalance and plays an important role in determining the modulation bandwidth. The Volterra series analysis is used to qualitatively understand and describ… Show more
