TRANSMITTER COMPONENTS
• Carrier signal source, usually a crystal
oscillator or a frequency synthesizer
• Multiple RF amplifiers to increase
power level
• High power final amplifier
• Impedance matching circuits to ensure
maximum power transfer
• Modulator

CLASSES OF AMPLIFIERS
• Class A
– Conducts continuously
– Linear, lowest distortion
– Least efficient (<50%)
• Class B
– Conducts for 180º of input
– More efficient than class A
– Push pull circuit reduces distortion
CLASSES OF AMPLIFIERS
(continued)
• Class C
– Conducts for less than 180º
– Highly efficient
– Generates distortion and harmonics
• Class D and E
– Switching amplifiers
– Introduce distortion and harmonics
– Most efficient (>90%)
– Use BJT and enhancement mode

TUBES VERSUS TRANSISTORS
IN POWER AMPLIFIERS
• Individual RF transistors can achieve power
levels up to about 500 watts.
• Using a push pull circuit and/or paralleling
transistors produces power levels over 1 kW.
• For power levels over 1 kW, the outputs of
several transistor amplifiers can be combined.
• For power levels over about 2 kW, tube
amplifiers are easier to implement and cheaper.
• Crossover Distortion
• If we look at the diagram for the input and output
waveform, we
• can see some distortion at the cross over where one
transistor
• stops conducting and the other one starts to conduct.
• 􀂄 A small base-emitter voltage is needed to turn on a
• transistor
• 􀂄 QN actually only conducts when vin > 0.7 V
• 􀂄 QP actually only conducts when vin < -0.7 V
• 􀂄 When 0.7 > vin > -0.7, nothing conducts and the output is
• zero.
• 􀂄 i.e. the input-output relationship is not at all linear.
Class C Amplifier
IMPEDANCE MATCHING
NETWORKS
• Impedance matching networks are used
between amplifier stages and between
the final amplifier and the antenna load
to ensure maximum power transfer.
• Impedance matching networks consist
or inductors and capacitors combined in
, T or L configurations.
TRANSFORMERS AND BALUNS
• Transformers are widely used
between amplifier stages for
impedance matching.
• A balun is a special type of
transformer that is also used for
impedance matching between stages.
SPEECH PROCESSING CIRCUITS
• Special circuits are used to modify and
enhance the voice signal from the
microphone.
• Speech processing includes filtering, levelclipping or compressing to minimize
bandwidth.
• In modern wireless equipment, speech
processing is performed by a digital signal
processor (DSP).
