Book Description:
Reviewing the previous edition, IEEE Microwave Magazine boasted, "anyone designing power amplifiers will find this book thought provoking and useful." Professionals in the field agreed as the book went on to be one of our top-selling RF design titles. This extensively revised edition of RF Power Amplifiers for Wireless Communications offers practitioners a comprehensive, practical, and up-to-date understanding of how to tackle a PA (power amplifier) design with confidence and quickly determine the cause of malfunctioning hardware. Among the numerous updates, the Second Edition includes five new chapters on some of today's most important topics, such as class AB PAs at GHz frequencies; switching PA modes at GHz frequencies; signals, modulation systems, and PA nonlinearities; power amplifier bias circuit design; and and load-pull techniques. Supported with nearly 200 illustrations, the book contains the most complete survey of RF PA efficiency enhancement and linearization techniques in a single volume.
CD-ROM Included! Contains practical design tools and examples to help engineers with their work in the field.

Summary: Even better than expected
Rating: 5
Cripps has a solid reputation for his books on power amplifier design, but I wondered whether a revision would contain sufficient new material to be worthwhile. I was pleasantly surprized by the expanded material, and the new insight into high efficiency designs in particular. Cripps has a special talent for tackling difficult topics and providing a thorough but understandable treatment. Most of all, he seems to always tie the analysis to a unique physical insight.
I highly recommend this book.

Summary: new and improved
Rating: 5
This second edition has added 120 pages of new material and revised much of the first edition material.
The author addresses common misconceptions and overlooked phenomena with explanations and simulation results.
Summary: Excellent!
Rating: 5
I gained a lot of insights from this book. It methodically treats RF power amplifier in a way that develops understanding of the fundamentals. I particulary like the explanation on the Load-Pull Countours/Theory (Ch 2), Matching Network Design for Reduced Conduction Angle PAs(Ch 3), and the Two-Tone Envelope Analysis (Ch 7). In short, thanks to this book, the way I look at PAs has been transformed: from nebulous beliefs and assumptions to insights and better understanding. I believe this book is a must have for Engineers working on RF PAs. Sincerely, ATS
Summary: Great book on PA design for wireless comms
Rating: 5
An excellent source of information. Mr Cripps very articulatly reviews at all classes of RF power amplification, and explains theoretical design principles and suggests improvements. His 'Load-pull' technique method is already widely used in design of PA's and serves as a good design aid. Although I would have liked him to go deeper into 'high-efficiciency PA techniques, spending more time on 'Chierix, Khan and Doherty methods. His book is the best reference on PA's I have seen in the last decade, I could not put it down. I look forward to his next book
