  • Abstract
    This contribution presents an analysis of the Class F-1 power amplifier considering different waveforms as driving signals and output current, comparing the output performance for two noteworthy cases. A MMIC Class F-1 amplifier in GaAs pHEMT technology is designed in order to validate the proposed theoretical analysis. The designed amplifier shows an output power of 28.5 dBm with a peak efficiency of 54% at 9.6 GHz.
