LDMOS RF Power Amplifier Design for Cellular Base Stations

The following report documents the Major Qualifying Project involving the design, implementation and testing of an RF power amplifier designed for an operating spectrum between 1930-1990MHz. The report reflects a design approach relying on computer simulations (using ADS software). The project then uses the results of these simulations toward the development of a physical circuit. The circuit is then refined for greater performance through testing and tuning. The main design focus of the project was the improvement of video bandwidth
