Amplifier Design

Source: Cadence Design Systems, Inc.

The higher-order modulation schemes employed in today's wireless networks demand exceptional linearity in the transmit signal path and consequently RF amplifier designers must accommodate it. This invariably requires a trade-off between key performance parameters such as linearity and efficiency, which is greatly aided by the use of simulation software tools like AWR's Microwave Office, Visual System Simulator and AXIEM as well as synthesis solutions like AMPSA’s Multimatch wizards. Together, these tools and their encompassing technologies streamline the amplifier design process and results in products that meet their required levels of performance.
