Abstract:This article presents a simulation-based analysis to first evaluate the impact of excessive transistor output capacitance on class-E power amplifiers and to second show how inductive compensation can be used to recover optimum class-E operating conditions. As a starting point, the finite-feed inductor in a parallel-circuit topology is replaced by a frequency-dependent inductor, which in turn can be substituted by a network composed of a series inductor and additional subharmonic resonators. This complex lumped… Show more
