Abstract
An analog/digital dual-mode power amplifier which provides a good linearity and a high efficiency comprises a first and a second power field effect transistors, and an input stage, a middle stage and an output stage. An input stage receives the input signal through an input terminal. A middle stage applies a second gate bias voltage appropriately controlled in response to an analog operating mode or a digital operating mode to a second power FET. An output stage provides matching at center frequency and has the impedance of less than 2.OMEGA. for a second harmonic and a third harmonic. Accordingly, a good linearity and high efficiency circuit can be obtained.
