According to recent research published in the IEEE Journal of Solid - State Circuits, "Integration of the power amplifier together with signal processing in a transmitter is still missing in demanding RF commercial products. Issues preventing PA integration include LO pulling phenomena, thermal dissipation, and power efficiency."
"In this work we investigate high efficiency watt range Class-E PAs and integrated baluns. In particular, insights in the design of a fully differential cascode topology for high efficiency and reliable operation are provided and a narrowband lumped element balun, employing minimum number of integrated inductors for minimum power loss, ...
