Abstract :
This paper describes the analysis of distributed power amplifier using discrete RF MOSFET devices. Large signal design is discussed where non-uniform of drain line´s characteristic impedance is employed to enhance the output power and efficiency performance. The amplifier demonstrates 1 Watt output power with 13dB associated gain and 26% of PAE over 100MHz to 600MHz frequency band
