In a high power amplifier, each stage should be designed for operation at maximum power ,such that, maximum power transfer condition is met. Most important parameters that defines an RF Power Amplifier are: Output power 1-db gain compression point Dynamic range Third order intercept point power Efficiency 1-db gain compression point: 1-db gain compression point The point at which the power gain of the transistor, due to non- linearities , is reduced by 1 dB from it’s small signal linear power gain value. G 1dB =G 0dB -1dB G 1dB =P 1dB /P in,1dB P 1dB ( dBm ) =P in,1dB ( dBm ) + G 1dB (dB) DR = P 1dB -P 0,mds (dB) Analysis of MULTI-STAGE AMPLIFIERS: Analysis of MULTI-STAGE AMPLIFIERS M1 M3 M2 Mn 50 Ω Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage n N-stage FET amplifierPowerPoint Presentation: Maximum power transfer conditions Third order intercept point power: Third order intercept point power 1/P TOI =1/P TOI,n +1/( G Pn P TOI,n-1 )+-----+ 1/( G Pn G Pn-1 G P2 P TOI,1 ) Where, Gp is power gain.
