Dual Band High Efficiency Class CE Power Amplifier Based on CRLH Diplexer
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research, Vol. 97, 217-240, 2009
Abstract
In this paper, the most adequate architecture to implement dual frequency amplifiers is shown. Composite Right/Left Hand (CRLH) and Extended Composite Right/Left Hand (ECRLH) transmission lines are studied and evaluated to find the most suitable structure for dual band power amplifiers. As an example, the performance of a class CE amplifier, working in TETRA and GSM frequency bands, is compared with simulations and measurement, showing good agreement.
