- Additional information
- To the best of the authors knowledge, this is the first comprehensive plug-and-play solution for multi-band and multi-mode handset transmitters with a single chip power amplifier. The work was carried in in collaboration with Sony Europe and Japan and is on their road map as part of their 5th generation radio system. The power amplifier designed in this paper is suitable for use in all communication standards, including 3G, 4G and Femto-cells, offering a bandwidth of several octaves covering 300 MHz to 3.5 GHz. This work also lead to Sony funding a CDT PhD student (Grant £30k).
