Description A majority of people now have a digital mobile device whether it be a cell phone, laptop, or blackberry. Now that we have the mobility
we want it to be more versatile and dependable; RF power amplifiers accomplish just that. These amplifiers take a small input and make
it stronger and larger creating a wider area of use with a more robust signal.
Switching mode RF amplifiers have been theoretically
possible for decades, but were largely impractical because they distort analog signals until they are unrecognizable. However, distortion
is not an issue with digital signals?like those used by WLANs and digital cell phones?and switching mode RF amplifiers have become a
hot area of RF/wireless design. This book explores both the theory behind switching mode RF amplifiers and design techniques for them.
Audience
RF/wireless engineers and designers; engineering managers
