Linear and Switch-Mode RF Power Amplifiers

Download or read book Linear and Switch-Mode RF Power Amplifiers written by Abdullah Eroglu and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: RF power amplifiers are implemented in communication, semiconductor wafer processing, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and radar systems to produce RF signal with the desired characteristics to perform several critical tasks in the entire system. They can be designed to operate in linear or switch-mode, depending on the specific application. This book explores the design and implementation methods for both linear and switch-mode amplifiers with real world engineering problems. The text discusses phased controlled switch-mode amplifiers and distortion and modulation effects in RF amplifiers. It illustrates the interface and integration of components and sub-systems for RF amplifiers. The material is further reinforced with MATLAB design files.
