Introduction - Linear CMOS RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Applications - page 4

Chapter 3 Focuses on the design of a dynamic supply CMOS RF PA for the
5.2 GHz band. This includes the high-efficiency, fast modulator and
the RF PA itself.
Chapter 4 Shows and discusses the experimental results obtained for the dynamic
supply CMOS RF PA. Measurements at 2.4 and 5.2 GHz are presented.
Chapter 5 Surveys the most recent advances in frequency-tunable capability and
also establishes the basis for presenting the frequency-tunable RF
power amplifier.
Chapter 6 Covers the design of the frequency-tunable CMOS RF PA.
Chapter 7 Presents the measurement results for the frequency-tunable CMOS RF
PA. The difficulties encountered in the practical implementation are
stressed and a discussion of the results is provided.
Chapter 8 Draws a conclusion for the two aspects treated in this topic, highlighting
its contributions, stressing the design and implementation difficulties
and suggesting possible solutions that could be realized in future works.
Chapter 9 (Appendix A) Explains the measurement setups used in the experimen-
tal characterization of the circuits and provides some additional screen-
shots for illustrative purposes.
Chapter 10 (Appendix B) Describes the procedure that we developed and used for
impedance matching of RF power amplifiers mounted on printed-circuit
boards.
