Assume that a 2 V supply is available for your design Calculate the resistance required to deliver 1 W power from 2 V supply. This will be much lesser than 50 Q and hence, would necessitate the use of an impedance transformer. In practice, the resistance needs to be even smaller owing to other dissipative mechanisms, such as voltage drops in the transistor and power loss in the filters and matching networks. Assume that these issues reduce the required resistance by 20%. With this new load resistance, calculate the drain efficiency (POUT PDC). Calculate the passive component values: RFC. CI. L2 and C2 (RFC is a large inductor called the RF Choke).
