Abstract

This paper presents a theoretical analysis and an optimization method for envelope amplifier. Highly efficient envelope amplifiers based on a switching converter in parallel or series with a linear regulator have been analyzed and optimized. The results of the optimization process have been shown and these two architectures are compared regarding their complexity and efficiency. The optimization method that is proposed is based on the previous knowledge about the transmitted signal type (OFDM, WCDMA...) and it can be applied to any signal type as long as the envelope probability distribution is known. Finally, it is shown that the analyzed architectures have an inherent efficiency limit.
