摘要
A single stage class-E power amplifier in GaN high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) technology is reported. The circuit operates at 1.9 GHz. At 30-V drain bias, a power-added-efficiency (PAE) of 57% and a maximum output power of over 37 dBm was achieved, corresponding to a power density of 5.25 W/mm. At 40-V drain bias, an output power of 38.7 dBm is achieved at 50% PAE corresponding to a power density of 7.4 W/mm.
