Abstract

Abstract

A multi-octave power amplifier is proposed based on the improved simplified real frequency method. Combined with the load-pull technology, the optimal impedance of the transistor is analyzed. By improving the optimization objective and error function in the improved simplified real frequency method, the optimal impedance of multiple frequency points in the frequency band is analyzed. The output matching circuit of the power amplifier is designed. The broadband matching circuit is optimized, and the working bandwidth of the amplifier is improved. The test results show that the saturation output power reaches 42.5 dBm and the saturation drain efficiency is 64%～75% within the frequency band of 0.5～2.7 GHz.
