  - This letter presents a 2-GHz SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistor fully integrated class E/F power amplifier (PA) design operating at low supply voltage. A maximum measured power added efficiency (PAE) of 39% is achieved for a supply voltage of 1.8 V. At I V, a maximum PAE of 36% is measured. The PA was fabricated using an advanced 0.18-mu m BiCMOS process.
