  • Abstract
    In this paper, a class-E power amplifier using four 1-W GaAs MESFET´s at 935 MHz is demonstrated using a new extended resonance power-combining technique. A microstrip amplifier based on this technique was designed and fabricated which combines four 1-W Siemens CLY5 GaAs MESFET´s with 67% power-added efficiency at 935 MHz
