RF Power Amplifiers

An advanced textbook covering the fundamental theory of RF poweramplifiers and their uses, this book provides essential guidancefor design procedures. The introduction explains the basictheory of RF power amplifiers besides providing the basicclassification of the different types of RF power amplifier. It then systematically dedicates a chapter to each different of RFpower amplifier covering A, B and C, D (full-bridge and half-bridgetypes), E (zero-voltage-switching and zero-current-switching), Fand DE amplifiers. Throughout this comprehensive guide, the optimaloperating conditions are explored and the possible causes forsuboptimum operation explained. The book then considersintegrated inductors and linearization techniques and LCOscillators in the concluding chapters.
