摘要
功率放大器(PA)是无线功率传输(WPT)系统中直流-射频转换的核心器件。然而,由于低输出功率水平下的负载失配效应,功率放大器的漏极效率(DE)显著降低。本文提出了一种功率脉宽调制(PPWM)电源,以提高功率放大器的宽功率范围效率。这样,既能满足平均输出功率需求,又能在输出功率下降时始终达到最大 DE 值。在实验室中制作并测试了一个由驱动器放大器、5.8-GHz/10-W F 类功率放大器和 30-W PPWM 电源组成的原型。实验结果和性能比较验证了所提方法的有效性。
Efficiency Enhancement of Power Amplifier Using Power Pulsewidth Modulation for Wireless Power Transfer
Power amplifier (PA) is the core device for dc-RF conversion in wireless power transfer (WPT) system. However, the drain efficiency (DE) of PA decreases significantly due to the load mismatch effect at low output power levels. In this letter, a power pulsewidth modulation (PPWM) power supply is proposed to enhance the wide-power-range efficiency of PA. In this way, the average output power demand is met, and the maximum DE can always be achieved when the output power backs off. A prototype comprising a driver amplifier, a 5.8-GHz/10-W class-F PA and a 30-W PPWM power supply is fabricated and tested in the lab. Experimental results and performance comparison are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
