Abstract: |
||||
This Paper reviews and discusses the most important non-linear load-pull techniques used in the design of the power amplifiers. It discusses and elaborates on the proper change in the load-pull configuration required in order to make them optimally useful for an on-wafer device characterization. Finally, the distinct case studies for a device characterization and the Power Amplifier design that utilizes a load-pull system is reported. In this paper, an overview of an actual state of the art in the load-pull techniques along with the emerging trends is presented. In section II, overview of basics load-pull technique for amplifier design is discussed. Section III presents a detailed discussion on the realization of load-pull techniques and their application domain. Section IV discusses common load-pull techniques and Section-V provides PA design case using load pull technique. |
