The tutorial begins with a brief introduction of spectral efficiency (SE) and energy efficiency (EE) in communications. Various definitions of EE will also be covered briefly. One typically used EE, i.e., bits-per-Joule, is theoretically derived and the ideal SE-EE tradeoff is introduced. It is recognized that a power amplifier (PA) is one of the most critical components in wireless communication systems and consumes a significant fraction of the total energy. The fundamental properties of PA, such as linearity and efficiency, are introduced. With the practical characteristics of PA, the detrimental effects of the signal non-linearity and power inefficiency of the PA on the SE, EE, and their tradeoff, are quantified.
Next, various existing EE-improving techniques are categorized from three perspectives: PA design, signal design and network design. This broad understanding based on the three categories will help motivate holistic design approaches to mitigate the non-ideal effects in real-life PA devices, and accelerate cross-domain research to further enhance the available techniques for high EE or good SE-EE tradeoff.
Last, the remaining challenges and future work for EE issue will be discussed.

49. PA in Wireless Communications
The LDMOS PA are employed for many communication equipments.
The international technology roadmap for semiconductors (ITRS) reports
that 48 volt LDMOS transistor is widely used in cellular infrastructure
market in 2011 [ITRS, 2011].
∵ The LDMOS can support high output power required for a base station
(BS) in cellular networks.
Table 3: Transmit Power of BSs [Auer et al., 2011, earth, 2015]
Type Pmax
out back-off average max output power ISD [m]
Macro 54 dBm (250 W) 8 dB 43 dBm (20 W) 1 Km −5 Km
Micro 46 dBm (40 W) 8 dB 38 dBm (6.3 W) 100 m −500 m
Pico 33 dBm (2 W) 12 dB 21 dBm (125 mW) 10 m −80 m
Femto 29 dBm (800 mW) 12 dB 17 dBm (50 mW) indoor
To compensate poor efficiency of LDMOS devices in the low power regime,
envelope tracking architecture or Doherty technique is used for 3G and 4G
networks that employs high PAPR waveform signals.

- out-of-band radiation increase for signal clipping
- SE reduction for side information
- additional computational complexity (see e.g., parameter optimization and
multiple candidate sequence generation [Rahmatallah and Mohan, 2013])
- additional analog circuits
Challenges:
hardware capability limitation
high sensitivity to PA status
additional resource requirement
additional circuits
tradeoff between: linearity and efficiency; SE and EE
