Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) We report a high efficiency sub-6GHz wideband Envelope-Tracking Power Amplifier (ET-PA) including an envelope amplifier and a wideband RF-PA, used in conjunction with a digital front end (DFE) environment for signal generation and predistortion. The envelope amplifier employed soft-switching technique to achieve high efficiency operation for wideband modulated signal. Both the envelope amplifier and RF-PA were fabricated using an 0.15um GaN HEMT process. The overall ET-PA achieves total efficiency of 39.5-46.7% and output power of 31.2-31.5dBm over 3.6-4.0GHz with 20MHz LTE signals. With DPD, ACLR was below -45dBc with total efficiency reaching 47% at 3.6GHz.
