Circuits for providing class-E power amplifiers

摘要

In some embodiments, circuits for providing Class-E power amplifiers are provided, the circuits comprising: a first switch having a first side and a second side; a first Class-E load network coupled to the first side of the first switch; a second Class-E load network: and a second switch having a first side and a second side, the first side of the second switch being coupled the second side of the first switch and the second Class-E load network. In some embodiments, the circuits further comprise: a third switch having a first side and a second side; a third Class-E load network coupled to the first side of the third switch; a fourth Class-E load network; and a fourth switch having a first side and a second side, the first side of the fourth switch being coupled the second side of the third switch and the fourth Class-E load network.

主权项

1. A circuit for forming a Class-E power amplifier comprising:
a first switch having a first side and a second side; a first Class-E load network coupled to the first side of the first switch, wherein the first Class-E load network includes one of a first inductor and a first transmission line, the one of the first inductor and the transmission line having a first side connected to the first side of the first switch and having a second side connected to a non-ground power supply voltage; a second Class-E load network; and a second switch having a first side and a second side, the first side of the second switch being coupled to the second side of the first switch and the second Class-E load network, wherein the second Class-E load network includes one of a second inductor and a second transmission line, the one of the second inductor and the second transmission line having a first side connected to the first side of the second switch and having a second side connected to a non-ground power supply voltage.
