High Efficiency Broadband Mixed Mode Power Amplifier for Patient Monitoring

Abstract

In this paper, the wideband operation of mixed mode Class F power amplifier has been presented for biomedical application in patient monitoring. The proposed work involves a reactance compensation technique, which provides a 10 W output power for a frequency range of 0.3-2.4 GHz while achieving efficiency of 66.81-76.82% over 155.55% fractional bandwidth. The large signal gain ranging from 11~13 dB and output power greater than 40 dBm. The PAE ranges from 55 to 72%. Layout of proposed circuit is generated using Modelithics components to verify the circuit implementation. © 2021 IEEE.
