Abstract

An efficiency-enhanced power amplifier (PA) is analysed and designed for wide-bandwidth envelope elimination and restoration (EER) system with application to orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) wireless local area network (WLAN) system. The proposed PA has no bandwidth limitation as that of the DC-DC converter used in classical polar modulator. The simulation result shows that the average power-added efficiency (PAE) is 25.38% at a 5.5Ghz average output power of 19dBm with peak to average ratio about 7.7dB and the overall error vector magnitude (EVM) remains less than 10% throughout its output power range. This PA shows much higher PAE among the reported WLAN BiCMOS HBT PAs as well as satisfying IEEE802.11a transmitter back off requirement
