Abstract :
A novel power amplifier (PA) supply technique that clearly reduces the noise at the bond-wires is presented. The method takes advantage of the filtering/matching network at PA output to suppress the HF supply noise. This approach is particularly suitable to help a single-chip integration of some applications such as RF identification or wireless local-area networks
