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.
