voltage range (1.9V to 3.6V) and over a large temperature range (-20°C to +60°C). The difference of
behavior compared to a more complex voltage-regulated bias using diodes was too little to justify an
increase in complexity (less than 1dB improvement over voltage range).
C2 = 100 pF presents a low impedance at 433 MHz compared to R1 and avoids having RF voltages on
the ENABLEPA line.
C1 = 100 pF is the decoupling capacitor for the load of Q1.
The RF signal is applied to the base of Q1 with C7 = 4.7 nF (low impedance at 434 MHz compared to the
input impedance of Q1).
Optimum Load Impedance
To achieve maximum efficiency of the power amplifier, it should work in C-class. In this case, the optimum
value of the load of Q1 can be found from the following equation.
where...
Vcc = voltage of the power supply
Vsat = saturation voltage
Pout = wanted output power
Assuming:
Matching Network
A matching network has been defined to match RLoad to 50 Ω. Simple Smith chart software can be used
to design this network, thereby avoiding extensive computation.
