Abstract
AbstractThis study proposes a dual‐band bandpass‐filtering high‐efficiency power amplifier based on dual‐function dual‐band impedance control network (DBICN) and a dual‐band bandpass‐filtering impedance transformer (DBBFIT). The dual‐function DBICN is exploited to transform the optimal fundamental complex load impedance to real one, and control the second harmonic load impedances of two bands to the high‐efficiency region in the Smith chart. Besides, two transmission zeros are constructed at dual‐band second harmonics to enhance harmonic suppression. Meanwhile, an easy‐to‐design DBBFIT is proposed by utilizing filter theory to realize real‐to‐real impedance transformation, and all design parameters can be obtained by simple closed‐form analytical equations. For validation, a prototype is designed, fabricated, and measured. The measured results indicate the drain efficiencies are 61.6% and 58.3% at 1.78 and 2.42 GHz with saturation output power of 40.8 and 39.6 dBm, respectively. Moreover, the second harmonic suppressions of the two bands are 40.1 and 47.1 dBc, respectively.
