A high efficiency switch-mode power amplifier based on a cascaded multicell multilevel circuit topology is introduced in the paper. A multicell topology being operated in a unipolar phase-shifted PWM control to switch-mode amplifier system is introduced. After analysising a single-phase H-bridge unipolar PWM inverter’s output, the paper emphasis on the researching of the output of a Cascaded Multilevel Class-D Power Amplifier. The paper analyzes the advanced characteristic of the cascaded multilevel technique. Then a cascaded multilevel class-D power amplifier is built in the laboratory. The result of measurement shows a good following performance and stability.

Abstract A novel pulse encoding strategy for RF switch-mode power amplifier (SMPA) is proposed in this paper to achieve benefits of multi-level delta-sigma modulators (DSM) while alleviating challenges that multi-level DSM brings to SMPA. The pulse encoder consists of a multi-level delta-sigma modulators (DSM) followed by a level transformation module (LTM). Based on the equal-area criterion, LTM directly maps the multi-level DSM pulse train into a binary pulse train which enables a simple system configuration. The feasibility and effectiveness of proposed strategy are verified by numerical simulation and experimental measurement. Results show that, with a similar coding efficiency, the proposed strategy obtains more than 7 dB improvement in average in-band signal to noise ratio (SNR) compared to traditional two-level DSM.
