摘要：

Although envelope tracking power amplifiers have significantly higher efficiency in back-off than constant supply Class AB amplifiers, there is nonetheless an impact of modulation peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) on the overall system efficiency. This paper provides experimental results and analysis of efficiency of a GaN RF amplifier with peak power 100W under envelope tracking, as a function of PAPR over the range 6.5dB to 10dB. The analysis shows that the RF transistor knee voltage relative to its maximum drain voltage, and the output power of the envelope amplifier relative to its maximum output power, are major determinants of the efficiency roll-off.
