| Abstract |
Two types of bidirectional RF amplifiers at 2.4 GHz ISM band are designed. The bidirectional amplifier consists of an LNA and a power amplifier (PA). One of the bidirectional amplifiers utilizes RF switches and the other has no switches, i.e. switchless amplifier. All amplifiers are fed from unipolar DC supply. At receiving mode, RF LNA consumes 6 mA of DC current from a 3 V supply, and at transmitting mode, RF PA consumes 55 mA of DC current It is shown that switchless bidirectional amplifier works as good as the other. Infineon SiGe RF transistors BFP640 and BFP650 are used. Amplifiers are built and measured with network analyzer. Their measured characteristics such as 1 dB compression point, input/output match and stability corroborate simulation results. These amplifiers can be easily used as range extenders for any ISM band application. |
