Abstract:-Switching processes such as pulse-width and pulse-density modulation have been used for many years in power electronics applications. Due to rapid scaling of semiconductor technology, similar approaches may be successfully applied to blocks in the radio architecture. This work outlines the implementation of a class-D power amplifier for RF applications in low-GHz frequency bands. We describe the motivation for using pulse-density modulation (PDM) to achieve linear amplitude modulation of a nominally nonlinear… Show more
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.
