Abstract
The authors present a 1.8GHz class E power amplifier for wireless comm unications. A fully integrated class E power amplifier module was desi gned, fabricated and tested. The circuit was implemented in a self-ali gned-gate, depletion mode 0.8 mu m GaAs MESFET process. The amplifier delivers 23dBm of power to the 50 Ohm load, with a power added efficie ncy of 57% at a supply voltage of 2.4V.
