Abstract Details

2011, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Electrical and Computer Engineering.
A method is proposed to allow dynamic load modulation with 2 degrees-of-freedom. This method allows tuning of a load to any value within a defined coverage area of the Smith chart. This active load modulation is to be utilized in the design of an adaptive power amplifier, to maintain maximal efficiency at all power levels. Two sets of varactors, each composed of two varactors in an antiseries configuration, are used to achieve the 2 degrees-of-freedom.
