Abstract
This paper presents a CMOS class-E power amplifier that has a simple structure and exhibits high linearity. The amplifier operates at 900 MHz from a 2.5-V, and delivers 1-W output power with 80% drain efficiency. Simulation results show that 3 rd and 5 th IMD products of the proposed PA are lower than that of the conventional class-E amplifier by 14 dB and 9dB respectively. The proposed amplifier shows a good performance when tested with linear modulation scheme such as that used in North American Digital Cellular (NADC).
