Abstract

In this article we propose a technique for dual‐band Class‐E power amplifier design using composite right/left‐handed transmission lines, CRLH TLs. Design equations are presented and design procedures are elaborated. Because of the nonlinear phase dispersion characteristic of CRLH TLs, the single previous attempt at applying this method to dual band Class‐E amplifier design was not sufficient to simultaneously satisfy the minimum requirement of Class‐E impedances at both the fundamental and the second harmonic frequencies. This article rectifies this situation. A design example illustrating the synthesis procedure for a 0.5W‐5V dual band Class‐E amplifier circuit simultaneously operated at 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz is given and compared with ADS simulation. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
