Abstract :
In this paper we develop a new theory based on a simple yet accurate model to calculate the optimum load that would allow maximum power to be delivered to the load. These could be embedded in CAD tools to be used for directly drawing the load-pull power contours. That would be of great importance in the design of several applications such as power amplifiers.
