“…Gain variation is also the source of problems that do not impact the PA itself, but the ET PA as a whole by restricting the possible shaping functions. Shaping functions relate the applied dynamic supply voltage to the instantaneous magnitude of the modulated input envelope [18]. The most common shaping functions [2] all depend on the transistor's behaviour being insensitive to a change in supply voltage GaN-on-Si 10 -30 V, 10 dB 7-9 dB 0.7-0.9 Fig.…”

“…1(b), Fig. 17(b) [4] and typically track the point of highest efficiency, or attempt to trade-off efficiency and linearity [11], [18] and result in a trajectory of supply voltage versus input power or input voltage magnitude [2], [19]. If the gain varies strongly, the input power necessary for high efficiency operation can become decoupled from, and almost independent of the supply voltage.…”

“…There have been works toward integration of multi-band transmitter and therefore multi-band PAs in CMOS [68,[73][74][75] and BiCMOS technologies [76][77][78][79]. With both linearity and efficiency becoming a simultaneous requirement of the PAs, more works have been done in the linearization of the class-F PA at a single frequency of operation [38,[80][81][82][83] and at multi-band operation [68,73,84,85].…”
