This thesis consists of two parts. Part 1 introduces the characteristics of Class E power amplifier. Part 2 is focused on the implementation of Class E power amplifier for 2.4GHz Bluetooth applications. The design procedure follows the theory of class E power amplifier, and is implemented in MMICs and modules. For MMICs, the GaAs HBT foundry services are provided by the GCTC Ltd. and WIN Ltd.. Under single supply voltage of 3.3V and the output power of 20dBm, two designed MMICs have gain 23dB and 11dB, and power added efficiency (PAE) 57% and 72%, respectively. For Hybrid modules, RF transistors are provided by the Filtronic Ltd.. Under the same supply voltage of 3.3V, the measured output power, gain, and power added efficiency are 20 dBm, 25dB, and 75% respectively. Compared with the other types of power amplifiers on the market, Class E power amplifier has higher power added efficiency, and thus can increase the using time of communication system.
