  • Abstract
    This article provides a tutorial and review of recent developments in high-efficiency class F RF/ microwave PAs. The principles of class-F RF PAs are explained first. Recent progress in their theory and in design techniques is then presented. Different approaches of class-F PA designs are explained, and some examples of practical designs are illustrated. Finally, an attempt is made to discuss the future developments of class-F RF/microwave PAs.
