  • Abstract
    A high efficiency GaAs FET power amplifier with very low drain bias voltage 3 V was investigated at 1.6 GHz. The power amplifier was worked at F mode operation by using harmonic turning of output matching network and biasing near pinch off. The power efficiency of near 70 % with 25 dBm output was achieved. The low harmonic level shows the amplifier has the capability of the linear amplifier.
