Abstract

This paper presents a Class-D power amplifier for bandpass pulse width modulated (BP-PWM) and bandpass delta-sigma modulated (BP-DSM) signals at 20 MHz. A 1-bit 6-th order topology is used in the DeltaSigma-modulator. Integral noise shaping is used in the generation of the bandpass pulse width modulated signal. A two sided pulse width modulation is used with a 6-bit 4th-order noise shaper. The push-pull amplifier part of the Class-D amplifier was fabricated on a 0.18 mum CMOS process and the bandpass filter was composed of a LC ladder network realised with discrete components.
