Development of a Linear Octave-Bandwidth 2-to 4-GHz Transistor Amplifier.

摘要

The objective of this program was to develop a linear power transistor capable of delivering 5 W of linear output power in the 2- to 4-GHz frequency range with a minimum gain of 10 dB and an efficiency of 10%. The transistors developed on this program were performance-tested to characterize their parameters for broadband capability. This information was then used to design a single and a dual transistor circuit to demonstrate broadband performance from 3.4 to 4.0 GHz.
