摘要
This paper describes a new driver circuit for high-efficiency RF switching power amplifiers (class E, class D) based on a small-area driver transistor, intrinsic input capacitances of the output-power transistor, and a shaping network. The driver operation is based on class-E principles. Among the main benefits of this new driver are high efficiency, very low-bias voltage, and circuit simplicity. (C) 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
