Systems and methods for boosting a received AC signal using a power amplifier including phase conditioners

摘要

A power amplifier configured to boost an AC signal. The power amplifier includes a first transistor, a second transistor, a first inductor connected between the first transistor and a voltage source, and a second inductor connected between the second transistor and ground. A first phase conditioner arranged at an input of the first transistor is configured to condition a phase of the AC signal such that the AC signal as received by the first transistor is out of phase with respect to the AC signal as received by the first inductor. A second phase conditioner arranged at an input of the second transistor is configured to condition a phase of the AC signal such that the AC signal as received by the second transistor is out of phase with respect to the AC signal as received by the second inductor.
