Abstract

—In this paper, application of a new technological solution for power switches based on Gallium Nitride and a filter design methodology for high efficiency Envelope Amplifier in RF transmitters are proposed. Comparing to Si MOSFETs, GaN HEMTs can provide higher efficiency of the Envelope Amplifier, due to better Figure Of Merit (lower product of on- resistance and gate charge). Benefits of their application were verified through the experimental results. The goal of the filter design is to generate the envelope reference with the minimum possible distortion and to improve the efficiency of the Amplifier, obtaining the optimum trade-off between conduction and switching losses.
