Abstract
Summary form only given, as follows. In this work efficient LDMOS device operation for envelope tracking amplifier systems is discussed. We introduce a “hybrid” combination of class- J* and class-B device operation, which yields improved efficiency at low supply voltages in power back-off, while avoiding device breakdown when operating at high supply voltages. Using these techniques with a Gen7 NXP 2W LDMOS device in a load-pull test bench, more than 63% drain efficiency over a 10dB power back-off range is achieved at 2.14GHz.
