Venter, R.G. (author)Semiconductor power devices have a growing popularity in industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band applications, such as microwave-heating, drying and plasma generation. A distinguishable property of these applications is the relentless pursuit of reliability, ruggedness, or the ability to withstand a mismatched loading condition without...master thesis 2014

Li, J. (author)This thesis aims for high power wideband amplifiers suitable for base station instrumentation purposes. A power combing topology is introduced, not only to achieve high power but also good input and output matching. Two kinds of broadband 3-dB quadrature couplers, which are important components in the power combing topology, are designed and...master thesis 2011

Shi, K. (author)With the rapid growth of wireless communication systems, there is more and more demand for radio frequency power amplifiers (RFPAs) in base stations to be power-efficient so as to reduce the cooling and electrical power cost. Besides the efficient requirement, wide-band working frequency and compact PCB size are also attractive for cutting more...master thesis 2010

Kearey, R.F. (author)This thesis describes the design, simulation and implementation of a supply modulator to be used in a VHF power amplifier on the Delfi-n3Xt nano-satellite. First, a set of specifications is defined that describe the required functionality. These are derived from earlier work on related systems and confirmed through discussions within the project...master thesis 2010
