Abstract
This paper describes the design considerations for RF
power amplifiers in general, including trends in systems,
linearity and efficiency, the PA environment,
implementation is sues and technology.
As an example a triple-band (900/1800/1900MHz) dual
mode (GSMIEdge) power amplifier module is described in
this article. The RF transistors and biasing circuitry are
implemented in silicon bipolar technology. A multi-layer
LTCC substrate is used as carrier.
