H2ID Waveform Atlas – Version 2B
A Waveform-First Approach to High-Efficiency RF Power Amplifier Design
-
Identify >90% efficiency regions instantly
-
Intrinsic harmonic load impedances extracted from waveforms
-
Explore non-classical operating modes
RF PA Design Is Still Too Iterative
-
Load-pull is slow
-
Harmonic tuning is blind
-
Insight comes late
H2ID → Waveforms → Impedances
-
Waveform-first design
-
Direct mapping
-
Reduced iteration
KEY INSIGHTS
-
90% efficiency achievable
-
Class-F not valid everywhere
-
Inverse Class-F-like modes exist
-
Efficiency depends on H2ID phase
-
Some regions must be avoided
-
Trade-off between power and efficiency because of the transistor knee.
WORKFLOW
-
Select H2ID operating point
-
Decide on power versus efficiency compromise and scale waveforms accordingly
-
Calculate intrinsic impedances
-
Map intrinsic impedances to the external reference plane
-
Implement & tune
