In this paper, an L-band partially internally matched GaN amplifier is presented, which is designed so that Class-F condition is met for the 2nd harmonic and Class-E condition is met for the 3rd harmonic. Utilizing these harmonic conditions, high output power together with high efficiency was obtained overcoming power limitation of Class-E. As a result, 360W output power and 65% PAE was successfully obtained at L-band with in-house GaN HEMT.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
