Design Methods for Integrated Switching-Mode Power Amplifiers • Onwerpmetodes vir Geïntegreerde Skakelmodus-Drywingsversterkers • by/deur Dr Mladen Božanić, MIEEE • Supervisor/Studieleier: Prof. Saurabh Sinha, SMIEEE, Pr Eng • In his thesis, Design Methods for Integrated Switching-Mode Power Amplifiers, the promovendus investigated the possibility of streamlining the design flow for power amplifiers. The research work resulted in two major outcomes: developing an inductor design process, which improves inductor performance characteristics to the benefit of conventional power amplifiers and other RF systems, as well as devising a set of algorithms for the complete design of switch-mode (Class-E and Class-F) power amplifiers and their output matching networks. Simulations, combined with fabrication and measurements, showed that the resulting algorithms were substantially better than existing cut-and-try methods found in the current body of knowledge. • Thesis link: • http://upetd.up.ac.za/thesis/availabl... • Software developed: • http://www.up.co.za/asp/documents.asp... • Peer-reviewed journal and conference publications associated to this thesis presenter: • 1 M.
