A new “hybrid” approach to microwave power amplifier design is presented which is based both on experimental large-signal low-frequency I/V load-line characterization and a model-based description of the device capacitances. Such a technique allows to get the same information obtained through nonlinear measurement setups operating at microwave frequencies. Several simulated and experimental data are proposed, based on GaN technology, in order to prove the effectiveness of the methodology.

Abstract
A new “hybrid” approach to microwave power amplifier design is presented which is based both on experimental large-signal low-frequency I/V load-line characterization and a model-based description of the device capacitances. Such a technique allows to get the same information obtained through nonlinear measurement setups operating at microwave frequencies. Several simulated and experimental data are proposed, based on GaN technology, in order to prove the effectiveness of the methodology.File in questo prodotto:
