Design Issues for a Solid-state Power Amplifier Integrated with a Planar Antenna

This article presents design and analysis related issues for a solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) integrated with a planar antenna. It discusses the suitability of different planar antenna structures to minimize EM interaction between the radiator and ...
Efficiency, output power and compactness are the most important parameters of a system for RF/microwave transmitter applications. The power amplifier consumes most of the DC power in a transponder. Thus, much attention is required to maximize the efficiency of the power amplifier. A high efficiency power amplifier allows compact...
