I have some questions about Class E Power Amplifier
1) From page 183 of
Advances in Electronics, Communication and Computing ,
(a) why Maximum output power is calculated as
0.577 Vdd2 / R ?
(b) What does it mean by
Vgs (min) = 5% of Vdd = 0.09 V and Vgs (max) = 7% of Vdd = 0.126 V. Therefore Vgs value will be in between 0.09 and 0.126 V ?
2) From Figures 4 and 5 on page 3 of
A Class-E RF Power Amplifier with a Novel Matching Network for High-Efficiency Dynamic Load Modulation ,
(a) how to determines values of all the values of capacitors and inductors of both the input and output impedance matching networks ?
(b) how to use Spice software to simulate if it does not have smith chart plotting capability ?
(c) How to bias the two pull-up inductors (Lrf, Ldriver) and two resistors (Rb1, Rb2) ?
(d) How does the proposed digitally-controlled matching network works ?
