Abstract
outphasing class-E power amplifier using composite right/left-handed transmission lines(CRLH-TL) is proposed at 2.4 GHz. The power combiner including CRLH-TL is designed to suppress the second and third harmonics to increase linearity and the output problem of the conventional outphasing amplifier is also solved by the proposed outphasing amplifier. So the P AE is improved. The measured maximum output power at the fundamental frequency shows 31.8 dBm, whereas the PAE shows 50 % with 14 dBm input power excited. The IMD3 is improved by 5 dB compared to that of conventional outphasing amplifier.
