A frequency-tunable impedance matching network based on coupled inductors for RF power amplifiers
2008
Résumé
In this paper we present an RF PA employing an output impedance matching network of the pi-type, where an inductor is variable. In order to implement this tunable inductor, the coupled-inductor technique [1] is used. Although other techniques for inductor tuning exist, like those using active [2] and MEMS inductors, and p-i-n diodes [3], the coupled-inductor technique is the only providing quality factor (Q) enhancement and tunable capability.
