摘要
An InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) power amplifier is developed for WCDMA user equipment, specifically. band-l-power class-2 application. The HBT power amplifier demonstrates maximum output power P-out of 29.4 dBm and power-added efficiency (PAE) of 48% at a frequency of 1.95 GH(z). When operated according to the WCDMA standard. it achieves P-out of 27 dBm and PAE of 32.4%. The adjacent channel leakage power ratio (ACLR) is -33 dBc. A compact microstrip resonant cell (CMRC) circuit is implemented on the HBT amplifier in order to further improve the PAE, ACLR, and IM3 performances. This results in improvements of 8 dB and 6% for the ACLR and PAE, respectively. (c) 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
