Overview
- Provides breakthrough solutions for the design of efficient and low-area integrated RF power amplifiers
- Describes the theory of a finely tuned envelope injection technique and its application to an adaptive power amplifier demonstrator on silicon (SiGe BiCMOS)
- Describes Delta-Sigma control systems to cancel out quantization noise/distortion in power amplifiers based on dynamically switched power stages

Reviews
“This monograph describes a very substantial work that deals with the theoretical analysis, the simulation, the realization and the measurement of high efficiency power amplifiers for mobile terminals… The described works are of high scientific level and are compared to state-of-the art” Andreas Kaiser, CNRS Research Director at IEMN, Lille, France.
“The content of this work is rich from the stand-point of theory and experiment. The obtained results demonstrate the necessity to take into account a great deal of phenomenons, such as quantization noise in switched PA architectures, thermal effects,and the accurate modelling of active devices in order to reach a high performance level”, Patrice Gamand, RF Innovation Center General Manager at NXP Semiconductors, Caen, France.
