The designed power supply system includes a 2.13 GHz power amplifier in which the input battery voltage of 5 V is boosted to a variable voltage output of 28 V depending on the incoming radiofrequency envelope. This variable voltage is obtained using an envelope detector and a dc-dc boost converter. For an output power level of 45 dBm, the power efficiency increases from 72.4% to 85.4% extending battery life over 1.2 times.}, publisher = {URSI 2006, XXI Simposium Nacional de la Unión Científica Internacional de Radio, Oviedo, p. 1292-1294}, title = {Mejora en la eficiencia de un amplificador de potencia mediante técnicas de seguimiento de envolvente}, author = {Hernández García, Leticia and Herrera Guardado, Amparo}, }
