Abstract
This paper presents the design of a broadband and high-power amplifier with bounded performance technique (BPT). Like the real frequency technique (RFT) or the simplified RFT (SRFT), BPT achieves broadband performance via matching at some in-band discrete real frequencies. It solves some design issues that are not addressed in the RFT and the SRFT. Among them are the inclusion of the design specifications in the device selection and design process and the possible degradation of operation metrics that are not optimized. BPT also avoids complicated analytic mathematics by using circuit prototypes. In this paper, we show the design of an amplifier with BPT. It has a 3-dB compression power of at least 100 W and a drain efficiency of at least 50% over the band 1–2.8 GHz or 94.7% fractional bandwidth. We also show the design of the same amplifier with the traditional SRFT and compare its expected performance with that designed with BPT.
