摘要：
A concurrent dual-band class-E power amplifier using composite right/left-handed transmission lines (CRLH TLs) is proposed. Dual-mode operation is achieved by using the frequency offset and nonlinear phase slope of CRLH TLs for the matching network of power amplifiers. The frequency ratio of two operating frequencies is not necessarily an integer. Two operating frequencies are chosen as 836 MHz and 1.95 GHz for simulation. Three methods for designing a CRLH TL power amplifier are proposed. The measured results based on one method show that output powers of 22.4 and 22.2 dBm were obtained at 800 MHz and 1.70 GHz, respectively. In terms of maximum power-added efficiency, we obtained 42.5 % and 42.6 % at 800 MHz and 1.70 GHz, respectively.
