Abstract :
This paper proposes an improved push-pull Class-E power amplifier with low maximum transistor current, which is a critical parameter for power amplifiers in low voltage design. Moreover, from its push-pull configuration, low harmonic distortion and large optimum load are achieved. These improved performances are confirmed by theoretical analysis and HSPICE simulation. The proposed design is suitable for the wireless RF transceiver in low voltage design
