Abstract

A power amplifier (PA) is the most essential and crucial block for effective wireless communication in radio frequency (RF) frontend. PAs are employed to amplify the input signal to the appropriate output power level while consuming less DC power and producing high efficiency. Furthermore, current PA designs in nano or micro scales complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology have inherent limitations, including the hot electron effect and oxide breakdown. According to the literature, the performance of the PA directly influences the efficiency of any transmitter. The main purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive overview, analysis, and quantitative comparison of the most promising RF PA architectures that have previously reported. The key focus of reviewed articles is PAs that were implemented using scalable CMOS technology with adequate output power for portable wireless devices at 2.4 GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band and 5G frequency ranges. The presented comparative study may help future work on wireless RF devices.

面向5G无线应用的先进功率放大器设计分析:调研

功率放大器是射频前端实现有效无线通信的最基本、最关键的模块。放大器用于将输入信号放大到适当的输出功率水平，同时消耗较少的直流功率并产生高效率。此外，目前纳米或微尺度互补金属氧化物半导体(CMOS)技术的PA设计存在固有的局限性，包括热电子效应和氧化物击穿。根据文献，扩音器的性能直接影响发射机的效率。本文的主要目的是对以前报道过的最有前途的RF PA架构进行全面的概述、分析和定量比较。回顾文章的重点是使用可扩展CMOS技术实现的pa，该技术具有足够的输出功率，适用于2.4 GHz工业、科学和医疗频段以及5G频率范围的便携式无线设备。本文的比较研究对未来无线射频器件的研究有一定的帮助。
