Optimum Design of Nonlinear FET Amplifiers

In this paper, an efficient approach to the optimum design of power amplifier stages is described. The impedances presented to the FET are optimized independently of the topology chosen for their realization. They are then synthesized by the usual methods of Iinear circuits. The proposed method has been applied to the design of broad-band power FET amplifiers. The realizations have given a good correlation between the theoretical and experimental results. Moreover, the method is being used in the optimum design of power FET multipliers.
