Abstract-A single-chip power amplifier (PA) with a reconfigurable output-matching network is presented for 4G multi-band mobile phone application. The multi-band PA (MBPA) consists of an amplifier and a reconfigurable output-matching network (a band selection circuit and a tunable transmission line). Multi-band, load-impedance modulation is done by controlling a PIN switch of the band selection circuit and varactor diodes of the tunable transmission line in the reconfigurable output-matching network. This MBPA delivered a gain of more than 11 dB, an adjacent-channel-leakage ratio of the evolved universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) terrestrial radio access (E-UTRA) smaller than −32 dBc, and a power-added efficiency (PAE) larger than 29% at the output power of 26 dBm for high and low frequency bands with a 10 MHz 16quadrature amplitude modulation long-term-evolution signal.Index Terms -long-term-evolution, multi-band, power amplifier, PAE, reconfigurable output-matching network.1549-7747 (c)
