Quantifying System Performance of GSM/GPRS PAs With Differing Levels of Integration
Overview Few years ago, GSM power Aamplifier (PA) solutions were poorly integrated. The transmit system solution required individual ICs for low-band, high-band and power control and many discrete components for input and output matching networks, harmonic filtering, decoupling capacitors and all the support components for the power control function. This lack of integration was due to process technology, simulation tools, requirement for high-Q (low-loss) passives, and stringent requirements of the 3GPP (GSM) specification. However, in the past few years, PA solutions have integrated external functions and components into a multichip module, thereby decreasing the footprint and the complexity of the solution.
