Abstract

The proposed ripple-less buck converter (RLBC) uses a two-phase topology with an inverted ac current replica (IACCR) circuit to reduce output voltage ripple to meet the error vector magnitude (EVM) requirement of 5G new radio (5G NR) low earth orbit (LEO) application. Assistance inductance (AI) circuit emulates inductor current to avoid using extra inductors. Ripple minimization (RM) circuit further reduces output ripple by synchronizing the switching moment of power MOSFETs. Therefore, the proposed RLBC achieves 5G NR LEO standards with an EVM of -28.85dB.
