Envelope Tracking Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications (Artech House Microwave Library)($98.50Value)

Description

Envelope tracking technology is seen as the most promising efficiency enhancement technology for RF power amplifiers for 4G and beyond wireless communications. More and more organizations are investing and researching on this topic with huge potential in academic and commercial areas.This is the first book on the market to offer complete introduction, theory, and design considerations on envelope tracking for wireless communications. This resource presents you with a full introduction to the subject and covers underlying theory and practical design considerations. "This is the first reference book on the important topic of Envelope Tracking Power Amplifiers and Sub-Systems that, to the reviewer's knowledge, has been published. It is an extensive and comprehensive description of all aspects of ET design and optimization not only covering power amplifier design approaches specifically for ET operation but also bias modulation, digital interfacing and algorithms required for digital pre-distortion. The book is well planned with topics flowing well from the introductory chapter on various power amplifier approaches for high efficiency operation, through a solid theoretical understanding of envelope tracking to complete sub-system measurements and results. This book is recommended for those who want a full introduction and understanding of the topic through to more experienced engineers that require convenient reference material." Raymond S. Pengelly Cree Inc., Fellow of the IEEE, Fellow of IET "Provides comprehensive, organized, easy-to-understand, and in-depth coverage of envelope tracking power amplifier for the RF front ends in one single book. Both new students and current practicing engineers will find this book indispensable." - Laurence Wong Principal Engineer of RFMD
