Simple steps are presented, allowing the designer to decide in advance if the outphasing technique will improve the efficiency versus back-off characteristic of the amplifier. For validating the method, an outphasing system for a Class AB amplifier has been designed, simulated and measured. In addition, a Class D amplifier has been also simulated to make a comparison of the results.}, publisher = {IEEE}, publisher = {11th European Microwave Integrated Circuits Conference (EuMIC), London, 2016, 357-360}, title = {Load-pull circles analysis method for aplying the outphasing technique in power amplifier design}, author = {Jato Llano, Yolanda and Herrera Guardado, Amparo and Huin, Francis C.}, }
