  • Abstract
    A highly-efficient, power-controllable CMOS class E RF power amplifier is described. The power amplifier operates at 1.8 GHz and simulated with a 0.6 μm CMOS process. By employing controllable capacitance for the output matching network, high power efficiencies can be maintained for a wide range of output power at a supply voltage of 2.5 V
