Abstract :
This paper introduces a simulator for GaAs FET power performance. Based on an algorithm of load-pull simulation for the GaAs FET, the simulator is capable of searching for the optimum load impedance, calculating output power performance, plotting power contours on the output impedance plane for a GaAs FET and designing a matching network. It can also be used in the design of microwave power amplifiers
