Abstract :
The use of power amplifiers in RF and microwave circuits and their models as used In CAE design software is a topic of considerable interest. In this paper we present a nonlinear network model for an internally matched bipolar “power” transistor (IMBIP). The IMBIP is divided into two networks, modeled separately and then combined to obtain a complete model. Linear and nonlinear comparisons between measured and modeled data are presented
