High efficiency RF and microwave solid state power amplifiers

This book provides comprehensive reference on the design of high efficiency and high frequency solid state power amplifiers (SSPAs). The authors cover fundamental theory on power amplifiers, as well as presenting practical techniquesand examples, discussing the pros and cons for each design method. They also recapitulate topics and techniques that are often misused or misunderstood in the field of SSPA, such as bias classes or nomenclatures, and examine both hybrid and monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) design approaches, highlighting design guidelines and criteria. The book ends with a case study on designing power amplifiers (PAs) for modern communication systems, introducing the reader to the use of PAs in actual systems and describing advanced techniques based on architecture solutions to improve PA performance.
