Abstract :
A novel topology of lossy equalizer with impedance transformation and stabilization capability is presented, which allows the design of broadband very high-linearity and high-power amplifiers. Design equations are presented and used to design a 1-2.4 GHz 60W composite amplifier exploiting push-pull configuration.
