Alternative Categorization of Radio Frequency Power Amplifier for Generalized Design Insights

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In recent years, advancements in semiconductor technologies have significantly transformed Radio Frequency Power Amplifiers (RFPAs), enhancing their efficiency, size, and performance. Despite these advancements, the design of RFPAs remains intrinsically linked to the specific applications for which they are intended. What proves effective in one context, such as communication technologies, may not be equally suitable in others, such as scientific instruments. This discrepancy highlights the lack of a systematic approach to RFPA design that can be applied across different applications. This paper delves into the fundamental concepts of RFPA design, adopting a comprehensive perspective. It further introduces an alternative categorization of RFPAs, thereby providing a generalized design approach.
