  • Abstract
    A direct systematic approach to designing broad-band GaAS FET power amplifiers for optimum large-signal gain performance is described. Assets of this approach include its accuracy in predicting large-signal amplifier performance and its basic simplicity. The implementation of the technique is facilitated by having to measure large-signal device bebavior at only one single frequency. The practicability of the method is demonstrated through comparisons between measured and predicted results.
